Hello Again,

Every web application requires a WEB-INF/web.xml file.  If that file 
isn't there, Tomcat won't treat the directory you created as a web 
application.  As long as you have  WEB-INF/web.xml file, you can place 
the JSP files in subdirectories and Tomcat will find them.

Hope that helps,

Zack
