Conventions for naming JSP files and directories

As you populate directories with JSP files, adhere to a consistent hierarchical directory structure and a consistent file naming convention.

Use the following rules when choosing names for JSP files:
  • Do not use any capital letters.
  • Use underscores, not hyphens, to separate words.
  • If the JSP file is an anchor page, include the word anchor in the name.
