Can JSP Access .jar files?

Hello!

I'm currently evaluating possible languages for writing a web application. The data for the application will be images stored directories compessed into .jar files. I'm wondering if JSP can access and read the .jar files. I have no experience with JSP so I'm a little in the dark on this one.

Should be totally possible to do this. To my knowledge, .jar files are compressed using the ZIP format. As there are classes in Java to handle ZIP compression, it should be a trivial task. See this page, for example.
