Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found when trying to access jsp

Question

I am using RAD (new to web dev) for some reason my app is unable to find .jsp's when they are not in the web content folder. I have a predefined package for my jsp's and when I run my servlet I get
Error 404: SRVE0190E: File not found: /WEB-INF/classes/app/view/search.jsp
now if I amend my URL in the servlet to "/search.jsp" and move the jsp to the web content folder, it works. I just don't understand why it cannot find the file when I put it in the package I created and link to it, but finds it just fine in the webcontent folder. Is there some unwritten rule JSP's MUST be in the webcontent folder? Because when i do that, then I have issues with my image links for the GUI (get red X's for all my images regardless of the fact they are linked properly.) Basically if I put my jsps where I want, look fine in design and preview, but the jsp isnt found when executed, if I move them to the web content folder the images no longer work but the jsps run. I am getting rather frustrated. Any help is appreciated.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner or other software that may corrupt the cache?
You can try to delete the entire cache folder.<br />
You can find the location of the cache folder on the about:cache page (open via the location bar, like a web page).
You can check the <b>browser.cache.disk.enable</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to verify that the disk cache is enabled (should be true).
