Hi Kevin
I am not facing this problem when I am requesting a static HTMl page located in
the server's document root. I am experiencing this problem, when a servlet
generates a HTML page and has a <LINK REL .......> line in it.
I have tried all the options suggested by U but the problem persists.
Regards
Shivashis

Subject: Re: Serving a style sheet file from a servlet to the client
The problem is that the browser is requesting the file from the web
server with an incorrect URL. Since you did not put a leading directory
separator in the HREF, my guess is that the page request is being
interpreted as http://{your server}/servlet/StyleSheet.css.
One way to get this to work correctly is to put the style sheet
somewhere in the document root of the web server. For example, if
requests to get http://{your server}/somePage.html get the page
/webroot/pages/somePage.html, then put the StyleSheet.css file in
/webroot/pages/ and add a leading slash to the HREF:
HREF="/StyleSheet.css". If you put the style sheet in a subdirectory
under the root, adjust the href accordingly.
Another way to solve this problem is to construct an absolute URL for
the HREF tag. Instead of HREF="/StyleSheet.css" use HREF="http://{your
server}/StyleSheet.css"
