No direct access for JSP under WEB-INF

I have been asked several times in the past whether files under WEB-INF can be accessed or not.
It is indeed somewhat confusing. The answer is YES and NO.

You cannot access them directly.

For instance the following URL would give a 404 error :
http://localhost:8085/myWebApp/WEB-INF/test.jsp

But you can access test.jsp indirectly.
For instance the following JSP, callTest.jsp, contains code that includes a call to the somewhat protected JSP test.jsp :

<%@ include file="WEB-INF/test.jsp" %>

The URL to call the JSP is :
http://localhost:8085/myWebApp/callTest.jsp
