We copy the JSPs to the ''web'' folder instead of ''web/pages'' because the ''pages'' directory ends up in ''WEB-INF/pages'' when the application is packaged into a [WAR|http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/WCC3.html#69310] file. This is a [recommended practice|http://husted.com/struts/catalog.html] when building secure web applications.

;: ''The files in the "pages" directory will end up in "WEB-INF/pages" at deployment time. The container provides security for all files below WEB-INF. This applies to client requests, but not to forwards from the DispatchServlet. Placing all JSPs below WEB-INF ensures they are only accessed through Controllers, and not directly by the client or each other. This allows security to be moved up into the Controller, where it can be handled more efficiently, and out of the base presentation layer.''

All this is to say that __putting the personForm.jsp in the ''web'' folder will allow us to view it without making a Tile for it__. ''We'll get to that in the next tutorial.''

We also need to add the <bean> definition for personFormController in this same file:

[{Java2HtmlPlugin

<property name="commandName"><value>person</value></property>

<property name="commandClass"><value>org.appfuse.model.Person</value></property>

<property name="formView"><value>personForm</value></property>

<property name="successView"><value>editPerson.html</value></property>

</bean>

}]

To test the JSP visually in your browser, save everything, run __ant deploy__, start Tomcat, and navigate to [http://localhost:8080/appfuse/personForm.jsp]. You should see something similar to the following image in your browser:

Now, if you stop Tomcat, cd ../.. to the base directory and run __ant test-web -Dtestcase=PersonController__, you should get a success message from Ant.

;:''There is also a __deploy-web__ target in build.xml that will allow you to just deploy the files in the web directory. Nothing gets compiled or generated when you use this target.''

Now, if you stop Tomcat and run __ant test-cactus -Dtestcase=PersonAction__, that should work too!
