WEB-INF problem

[Mike Broadbear]

I am attempting to use struts 1.0.2 with tomcat 4.0.1. I have a subdirectory that contains my jsps and a WEB-INF directory. The problem I am having is the jsps are referencing the WEB-INF directory in the ROOT directory of the webapps directory of tomcat, not the WEB-INF directory of my application. What is the reason for this?

There is no WEB-INF directory of a application, by which i think you mean a ear file based application.
The following is the structure
Ear Application
--META-INF
---- application.xml
--WebApplication
---- WEB-INF
------web.xml
------classes
------lib
--EJB jars
when you say "/" it always refers to for example
\Ear Application\WebApplication in a jsp page.

I am not bundling this into an .ear file while I develop. Do .ear files work with standalone tomcat?
Here is the directory structure:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/strutsShop
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/strutsShop/WEB-INF
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/strutsShop/WEB-INF/lib
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/strutsShop/WEB-INF/classes
...
When I run jsps in the strutsShop directory, they try to reference .jar, .tld... files in:
$CATLINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF
