Thanks for suggestion but I can't use <html:base> because all my JSPs are
under WEB-INF\pages

Putting <html:base/> in will cause images (and any relative urls) to have
URLs of
<img src="WEB-INF/pages/images/find_obj.gif">

which is even worse (doesn't work at all) and defeats the point of putting
pages under WEB-INF!

Put this inside the <head> block of all your JSP pages:

<html:base/>

Here is a URL to the docs for this tag:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/doc-1.0.2/struts-html.html#base

It solves exactly this problem.
