How to set an 'alias' for a JSP page in web.xml

Question

Hi
Suppose I have a JSP page called SimplePage.jsp and I want to refer to it by someother name while running the application how do I do this in the web.xml file. I have used <servlet-mapping> to do this in the case of a servlet. However I am not sure how to do this with a JSP
Could somebody show me how to do this. I would be very much grateful.
All help appreciated and acknowledged.
thanks in advance

It worked. The correct web.xml version is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" [
]>
<web-app>
<!-- Define servlets that are included in the example application -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ControllerServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>base</param-name>
<param-value>http://localhost:8080/MVCIIapp/servlet/ControllerServlet</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>jdbcDriver</param-name>
<param-value>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>imageUrl</param-name>
<param-value>http://localhost:8080/MVCIIapp/images/</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>dbUrl</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc:odbc:Burnaby</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>ilangocal</param-name>
<param-value/>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>mangla</param-name>
<param-value/>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Header</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>/MVCIIapp/jsp/Header.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>     
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Master</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Header</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Opener</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>     
</web-app>
I have other jps files too.I am going to try and put aliases for them and see how they perform.
I hope I have not spoken too soon by saying that the aliases work. Let me wait and watch with bated breath.
But thanks a lot for your suggestions without which this would not have been possible
