Do you mean that index.jsp is served? I'm guessing that the URL in your browser shows http://localhost:8080/test instead of http://localhost:8080/test/jsp/index.jsp If that's the case, then you have an incorrect URL in your index.jsp page. You're trying to use a relative URL ("../images/add.gif") from a page that does not have a fixed URL in the browser's eyes. The browser sees the "current" path as "/test", so a relative URL of "../images/add.gif" has a complete URL of "http://localhost:8080/images/add.gif";, which is not where your image is. It's good practice to use fully-qualified URLs (or, at least, full paths rather than relative ones) whenever you are writing a webapp. This is the brute-force way of doing it: <img src="<%= application.getContextPath() %>/images/add.gif" /> If this were a dynamic resource (so instead of an image, it was a link to another page), then you'd want to include the URL-encoded session id in case cookies aren't being used. Then, you need this: <img src="<% response.encodeURL(application.getContextPath() + "/images/add.gif") %> /> Gets messy, eh? That's why most people use JSP tag libraries to help out with this stuff. If you're using JSTL (or have it available), you can use the url tag like this: <img src="<c:url value="/images/add.gif" />" /> This takes care of pre-pending the context path, re-writing the URL for session management, and encoding any of the special characters you might have used in your URL (like spaces, Unicode, or any punctuation characters, etc.). If you're not using JSTL, then look to see what is available to your webapp and use that instead. I haven't used JSP in ages, so I have no idea if Tomcat includes the JSTL out of the box.
