Regular HTML pages on Struts 2 Spring Framework

I personally do not have much experience working in jsp and struts2 tomcat server but I have a small task that I have to deal with a server in production. I looked at info on the internet for two nights but seems like i can't get the answer.

What I want to do is to open some static simple html pages pop-up from the jsp pages that already exist. Those jsp pages are currently located at /webapps/WEB-INF/tld/mainPage/indexMainPage.jsp

what I did was:

make some javascript functions so that when they click a button, i open a pop-up

function btn_openPopUp()
 {
    window.open("../popUp/test.html");
 }

and put the test.html page at /webapps/WEB-INF/tld/popUp/test.html

The pop-up part works fine as it is just simplye javascript, but test.html is not displayed.

Struts Problem Report

Struts has detected an unhandled exception:

Messages:   
There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name test.

I have been looking at info online, and everything about struts is action based. Is there anyway I can open a page like on a regular server?

Pages under WEB-INF are not directly accessible to clients; put such pages under the root somewhere.

They can still be in sub-directories if it makes sense, just not under WEB-INF. If they must be under WEB-INF for some reason (which makes no sense for non-JSP pages) they can be streamed through an action like any other file--bit that'd be weird for HTML pages.
