Hi Simon,

As far as I know this is not possible. The behaviour you are seeing is what I would expect. The appserver will only parse and execute JSP pages that live within the web application's folder structure. Other non-executable content i.e. images, CSS, JavaScript etc. should work fine, however.

If anyone knows differently let us know.
