Hi Dhaval, I'd prefer to avoid relative addressing but I've read that the paths are relative to the css, not the html (which would cause problems) that is loading it so it may work ok.
Using a redirect in web.xml is an interesting option, however if my app has to co-exist with another application on the same webserver, which may be using the root context, then I might end up annoying the other application too. Would this even work (I'm no expert) but would the app web.xml even be considered for URL requests that do not fall inside the web app context path? Thanks.

That's a quick way. The other way I can think of is to use redirect in web.xml of your webapp in such a way that all request to /image/* goes to context/image/* Hope it helps.

Take the following CSS snippet. .bt { background:url(/image/box.png) no-repeat 100% 0; margin:0 0 0 18px; height:17px; } Particularly the url "/image/box.png". Potentially my Tomcat web application may be run with a context path so "/image/" becomes "/contextpath/image" and all the CSS breaks. Is there a way round this? Or should I be placing the urls somewhere else? Thanks. Mike.
