Thank all you guys very much for replying to my post.
I did map my servlet to the url-pattern "/". Is there any setting
could let web browsers find the static content inside the webapp
directory? If I put the static content into some other places, can web
browsers find the css file?
Does Jetty work the same way as Tomcat regarding this problem?
I have tried putting the webapp content in either ROOT directory or
mywebapp directory inside Tomcat/webapps. Web browsers could not find
the css file.
I copied the content of web.xml below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
