"root-relative" URLs don't work(Tomcat 3.1)

[Russell Freeman]

Whenever I have a web page that references a "root-relative" resource, e.g.
"/style.css", tomcat can't see to resolve it properly. It seems to be
ignoring the web site root as specified in server.xml. Obviously if the
resource lives in the same location as the current page I can drop the
leading forward-slash. However this won't work for resources in different
locations.

I've tried turning on debug for the webapp but I'm not seeing anything.

Any help appreciated
