The problem is that my JSP uses relative paths to reference CSS files. These paths work fine in the static mode, i.e. when I open JSP file directly in the browser without deploying it on Tomcat. However, when I deploy the JSP all relative links stop working.
Here is an example. Suppose I have the following directory structure: WEB-INF/jsp/Test.jsp css/Styles.css I need to reference Styles.css from Test.jsp in such a way that it works in static as well as in deployed mode. Note that for this to work in the static mode (no web servers or servlet containers) all paths should be relative. Therefore, when I deploy Test.jsp I want Tomcat either to handle relative paths correctly or ignore the path altogether and just serve all CSS file from a certain location (directory or URL). The goal of all this is to maintain only one source tree used by web designers and Tomcat administrator and avoid changing paths in JSP files during deployment. I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks. Hassan Schroeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 7/2/06, Alec Swan wrote: > I have a servlet, which I deploy as a WAR file.
