I understand what you're getting at. I am running a local instance of Tomcat, which means that both the client and the server are in my workstation. So shouldn't the local linkages work then?
Now, bringing the files into the webapps folder is a convenient solution. But the issue is that this web application is ultimately going to be deployed on a production/test server, and the application has to refer to the direct path of files lying on a remote server elsewhere. Again, http:// paths work, but local paths don't even if they refer to my own workstation (the one in which I am running Tomcat). One thing I must point out is that I don't have a configuration file in my web application's folder (currently it does not use any JSP, and the only Java involved is in an applet (.jar) which is embedded into a HTML document. Should I make a configuration file? If so, what must I put into it such that these links work? Thanks for looking into this.
