One thing I've done in the past is to treat CSS files as JSPs and use
s:url tags or EL expressions (${contextRoot}/images/image.gif)...
Pointing your jsp servlet in tomcat to CSS files, IIRC, didn't work
right (I think I found the JSP servlet was actually looking at the
file and saying - "hey, this isn't a JSP, I'm just going to serve it
up w/o parsing/compiling). But, you can create a JSP and set the
content-type via JSP directive and put CSS content within.
