File Not Found configuration problem

Recently switched from a working tomcat 5 hosted environment to a
windows 2008 64bit tomcat 7 hosted environment

http://196.40.84.83/jsp/about.jsp does not load the include file within it click the link and you get an error

http://196.40.84.83/jsp/loadsessiondata.jsp the file /jsp/loadsessiondata.jsp NOT FOUND error
as you can see from the second link you can access the file directly.

for some reason the include file in the about.jsp
<%@ include file="/jsp/loadsessiondata.jsp" %>

is not getting found by tomcat 7.

this was all working for years under tomcat 5

I tried to build the configuration as the documentation states, but I am obviously missing something

If I remove the "/jsp/" from the include line it finds the file.

I do NOT have a root.xml under conf/catalina/davincitrade

thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks.

Today: I really need help on this.

Agreed, however, I have been battling this for four days. It is very frustrating

Here is the actual line from Jasper

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /about.jsp (line: 1, column: 2) File "/jsp/loadsessiondata.jsp" not found

the about .jsp is in /jsp/about.jsp as well as the loadsessiondata.jsp

www.somesite.com/jsp/about.jsp

What happens if you include the file relatively to the current one:

Yes, that makes it work, the problem is there are 100's of pages not only in this directory but others as well and it worked great under tomcat 5
