Jsp name clashes with package of same name (WL5.1)

Question

          I have the following directory structure, well not really, but anyway...
          foo.jsp
          foo/bar.jsp
          The compilation of foo.jsp will fail stating that "jsp_servlet/_foo clashes with
          package of same name".
          The problem is that you can't have a jsp and directory of the same name. Actually,
          to be specific, you can't only if that directory contains another jsp, which in
          my case it does.
          What can I do so that weblogic will allow me to have a directory and jsp with
          the same name?
          thanks,
          -Steve
          

Answer 1

          Well, adding a prefix like dir to get dir_foo only works if you
          don't have a class called dir_foo, right?
          I'm sure you can come up with other mechanims for munging names
          and I'm also sure that I can come up with examples where they
          don't work.
