Not at all, as long as the context (webapp) has properly deployed.

What about <servlet-mapping> tags?  Those are required to map the
servlet class to a (context-relative) URI.

See above.

Avoid using relative paths from a servlet.  The spec doesn't mandate how
a servlet's relative path is handled, since a servlet is a virtual
entity.


A thorough review of the servlet spec (available at java.sun.com) will
provide more insight, as should several introductory J2EE/servlet texts.

If you use JSPs instead of servlets for your presentation content, you
can use a special JSTL tag to reference context-relative links, images,
and other static content.
