Request dispatcher and jsp pages called from servlets

Question

          Given the following webapp directory structure:
          root/
          jsp/
          ..all jsp files
          web-inf/
          classes/
          /servlets
               ..all servlet files
          /com
          ..all other java class files
          I have the jsp directory coded as: jspdir = "/jsp/" (and have tried variations
          on this theme)
          I try to open a new jsp page with the following code in a servlet in the above
          servlet directory:
               RequestDispatcher rd;
               rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(jspdir + myjsp.jsp);
               rd.forward(req, res);
          rd continues to return null.
          The jsp pages are not registered in the web.xml file for this webapp, if that
          makes any difference.
          Does anyone have any suggestions?

          environment description of the deployed application
