I may have to name my kid after you, Colin.  (Wonder if the wife will go
for Joseph Colin Pluta? <grin>)

Seriously, this works like a charm.  I figured out another workaround,
not quite so nice... I used a URL mapping that had an extra level of
indirection in it:

/Test2/Filler/Includer

And in the web descriptor I mapped that to the servlet. It worked, but
of course it would only work for JSPs that were two levels down, and I'd
have to do more finagling if I changed my folder structure.

Your technique is perfect for linking statically named web components
with JSPs located in arbitrary directory structures.

Thanks again!
