I'm trying to figure out how a servlet running in the Tomcat container can access jsp's that are included as part of a jar that has been installed in the WEB-INF/lib directory? Obviously they can't be accessed from the outside via URI's but I was hoping that they could be accessed from the RequestDispatcher, etc. via some path (e.g., /WEB-INF/lib/a.jar!b.jsp, etc.).
To give more context, I have a framework that I'm using to build a web-app and the framework itself has JSPs to contribute to the application (admin pages). Obviously, I can just extract the files and copy it into the namespace of the web-app itself but was hoping to avoid that. --lee
