Mike, That's not the case for me. I did, however, choose to make an images directory in the webapps folder, so that all my JSPs do indeed source back one directory, like you noted, src="../images/image.gif" for example.
Try restarting Tomcat with the image in the JSP sourced like the HTMLs and see. See if it picks up your change. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Molina [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 12:32 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Links to relative URL's from a JSP 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?
