Hi,

i have tried the absolute path

   <img border="0" src="/images/topImage.gif" width="300" height="15">

which renders to

http://localhost:8080/images/topImage.gif (which i know is not the good path)

but in the jsp we access the resource like this

<img border="0" src="<%=request.getContextPath() + "/images/topImage.gif"%>" width="300" height="15">

which renders to

http://localhost:8080/TEST/images/topImage.gif (where TEST is my application)

this worked fine for my partner on his sample controller servlet but did not have any server side code except the jsp also when i look at the deployed application in Eclipse it gives me this path

C:\Program Files\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\_webapps\TEST\images_

so the path is good (i think) when i look at the properties of the images on the html page

you said all the resources should make a request to the server but what i can't understand is why is it being caught and treated by my servlet

that's why i assumed there was some configuration problem so these request would be treated by a default servlet of some sort and not my servlet which is configured to have event types for every request and treats these requests for resources as "unknown events"

my lack of knowledge in servlets is probably misleading me here

I am not sure to understand your problem right, but:

   <servlet-mapping>
       <servlet-name>controller</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>/controller</url-pattern>
   </servlet-mapping>
[...]
Do i need to map the resource types to something so it bypasses my
servlet (and not be treated as a request)


There _will_ be a request for each and every static component (i.e.
image, css, js file, whatever) to be loaded from the server - but
indeed, you shouldn't have your controller taking care of that.

How are you referring to images and js from within your code? You should
be sure to use absolute URLS (i.e. "/images/logo.png" instead of
"images/logo.png"), otherwise you might end up with your server
searching for the content in a place where it's not supposed to be found
 (i.e. "/<servlet-context>/controller/images/logo.png"). If you keep
that in mind, chances are you won't have to do much configuration work
in your web.xml but simply ensure that folders containing static things
are somewhere out of the way of your servlet mappings.

Hope this helps, good luck to you!
Cheers,
Kris
