Sorry to revive an old thread, but I am encountering a similar issue, where
I'd like to have dynamic content, adding JSP forms into a Forrest site. I
tried random insertion of the JSP file into the generated webapp directory
tree; sticking it in the build/webapp/content directory displays the JSP
page's source text instead of interpreting it. I know I must be missing
somethin stupid... is this sort of thing easily done, or would I be better off
havin two separate webapps, one for forrest, and the other for the dynamic
jsps?
Thanks for your time!
