Maybe using 'getServletContext()' u can solve the problem.

Mike Molina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: I'm beginning to see my problem is a 
bit more complex than I had mentioned.

Here is the situtation: I have two JSP's, login.jsp and catalogue.jsp.  
Login JSP calls a servlet to do some processing. If it is successful, the 
servlet forwards the request and response objects to "/catalogue.jsp".

Whenever I access "catalogue.jsp" by entering in its absolute URL, 
everything works fine.  I can still have my relative img links to the images 
contained in the same folder, e.g., 

However, if "catalogue.jsp" is accessed by the servlet forwarding the 
request and response objects to "catalogue.jsp" then none of the usual 
relative URL's work.  In fact, the servlet will not even compile correctly:



SEVERE: Error loading WebappClassLoader
  delegate: false
  repositories:
    /WEB-INF/classes/
----------> Parent Classloader:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
mm_lodging1.css
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: catalogue.css
 at 
org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1352)
[...]



This is only remedied if I use relative links to the images beginning with 
".." For example, if the image links are constructed like 
src="../image.jpg">.  Then the forwarding, runtime compilation of the 
servlet, and the image URL's in the document work fine.

To illustrate how this works, say I have 3 images, one of them with a 
"correct" relative URL location, and the other two using "../" before the 
image filename.  If I access the JSP using an absolute URL, one of the 
images will work, if I use dispatcher forwarding, 2 of them will work.

I am using Eclipse for development.

Sincerely,
Mike M.
