The best method I can think of is to store the jsp in a directory outside your tomcat and outside your webapp. Then configure the path to the storage in either the context.xml or web.xml for your webapp and use a ServletContextListener to load up an application scope attribute with the path. Lastly a slightly modified version of the default servlet could offer up the jsp files as type text/plain. The benefits of storing the files in a location outside tomcat and the webapp include easy upgrade of both and inhibiting execution of the jsp.
