Not at all, as long as the context (webapp) has properly deployed. : Here is my test. I created servlet foo.bar.bazServlet. : I installed it under webapps/baz. I created <servlet> : tags in webapps/baz/WEB-INF/web.xml What about <servlet-mapping> tags? Those are required to map the servlet class to a (context-relative) URI. : http://localhost:8080/baz/test.html causes my servlet : to run? Do I have to create some sort of mapping entry : in webapps/bas/WEB-INF/web.xml for html to work? See above. : my servlet generates a image tag as follows : <img src=images/baz.gif> : i have webapps/bas/images/baz.gif installed how ever : this image is never loaded into my browser? Do I have : to create some sort of mapping entry in : webapps/bas/WEB-INF/web.xml for html to work? 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. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
