Application Deployment for JSPs

Question

Hi
I have a web application using only JSP's
The organization of the application is :
MyApp
|____ contains all JSP's and HTML
|_WEB_INF
| |______ Classes
| | |__________ MyBeans - contains all classes and code.
| |______Lib --- contains the jar files..
|___images --- contains all the image files.
There are no servlets in my application.
My questions are
1) Is this a good directory structure for an application containing JSP's
2) Do I need a WEB.XML file for this application to deploy it ?
3) What should be in the web.xml file.
thanx

Thanx for the reply
I have a couple of more questions.
When I setup tomcat on my local computer,
I removed the default context.....
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>
and created a context for my application .......
<Context path="" docBase="myApp" debug="0" reloadable="true" />
and I also changed the DocumentROOT of Apache server to point to MyApp Directory.
This works well for my application on my local machine.
The company I am trying to host my applicationwith , has provided my with my own tomcat instance and created a directory structure
HTML
|_____WEB_INF
the problem is that if i use MyApp.war to deploy the app. IT creates
HTML
|____ MYAPP
|_____WEB-INF
|___Classes....
and then it does not work if i do
www.myapp.com/index.jsp coz index.jsp is now in MYApp folder.
How can i solve this problem.
my initial thought was to create a war file such that it does not create a directory myApp...... but i dunno if that is possible /
any thoughts on this ?
thanx a lot
