I'm having a hard time finding where in the JSP 1.2 spec it says that things inside the /WEB-INF directory are not accessible by the browser.
i.e. http://somehost/myApp/WEB-INF/blah.txt --> this should return 400 error of some kind
Can someone find the section in the spec that talks about this?
Thanks

I dunno about the JSP spec but it appears in the servlet 2.3 spec under "9.5 Directory Structure"
