RE: [WDSCI-L] Importing existing JSPs etc. into new project

["Price, Chris" <chris_price@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

A JSP should not be in WEB-INF/classes. It should be in the WebContent
folder. Any subfolders containing JSP, from the Web Content folder roughly
equate to packages. 

Also remember that "WebContent" is simply a WSDC name, and not visible in
the running web application.
Similarly the "WEB-INF/classes", as part of the J2EE standard is not visible
when the application is running (in fact for security it is protected from
being seen by a browser).

So to address a JSP in the webcontent folder, the action should (hopefully)
be action="listing2.jsp";
to address a JSP in a subfolder of webcontent, the action should be
action="listings/listing2.jsp"
To address a servlet the action would be
action="my/package/structure/MyServlet", unless an alias name is given for
the servlet in the web.xml file.

I've also found that a lot of the time when WDSC reports the link to be
broken, when you the app it works ok. It depends on how your application is
put together.

Chris.

OK - thanks for all the help so far guys - now the only problem remaining is
that all the links are broken.  I have tried correcting them by using the
qualified hierarchy to point to the jsp .. e.g. <form
action="../WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/listing2.jsp" method="post"> but it
insists that the link is broken and I haven't a clue as to what it expects.
