The jsp-file directive

The jsp-file directive in web.xml allows mapping of JSPs to concrete URLs:

<servlet>
     <servlet-name>My Hidden Page</servlet-name>
     <jsp-file>/mydir/foo.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>My Hidden Page</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/hidden</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Shame on me, I didn’t know about this.
