How can I set where IntelliJ looks for files referenced in a JSP? If I have <pre class="prettyprint"><code><jsp:include page="/foo/bar" /> </code></pre> it cannot resolve directory foo. It looks like Settings > Web Contexts deals with this, but when I go there, it says <blockquote> No web directories found </blockquote>

You should configure a web facet in your project settings, then configure the directory containing <code>foo</code> as a "Web Resource Directory". If this is your root directory, set the "Path Relative to Deployment Root" to <code>/</code>. See the official doc for more info.

You should configure a web facet in your project settings, then configure the directory containing foo as a "Web Resource Directory". If this is your root directory, set the "Path Relative to Deployment Root" to /.
