This thread is related to relative URL within JSP's and how they refer to
the local directory structure in a web application.
My directory structure in Tomcat goes something like this:
webapps/inprogress/WebContent
(Accessed through Tomcat as such: http://127.0.0.1:8080/inprogres/WebContent
where WebContent contains my JSP and HTML files, WEB-INF, etc.
When creating img links to image files in the WebContent folder, I noticed
1) HTML files can use the correct local pathname, e.g., <img
src="imagname.jpg">
however,
2) JSP files, even though accessing image files in the same directory must
use the previous directory, e.g., <img src="../imagename.jpg"> even though
the images are contained in the same directory.
My assumption is that JSP files are "rooted" in the WEB-INF directory and so
must use the previous directory notation back up a directory to access the
images contained the WebContent folder where everything else is.
Thus, I have two questions:
1) Why does this occur, and how can I modify my xml configuration files so
that JSP's reference links exactly as an html file in the same directory
would?
2) How can I change the root folder of tomcat to the
webapps/inprogress/WebContent directory, which xml files, and how exactly
should I modify them?
Thanks,
Mike M.
