    Make use of the HTML <base> tag. It denotes the base URL of all relative URL’s used in the final HTML output. If you set it with HttpServletRequest#getContextPath(), then ALL links in your page will be relative to the http://example.com/contextname URL, which is http://localhost:8080/Projectname in your case.

    <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <base href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}">
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="html/page.html">HTML page</a></li>
            <li><a href="jsp/page.jsp">JSP page</a></li>
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

    Note that you should not start the relative URL’s with /, otherwise they will lead to the domain root, e.g. http://example.com/yourlink.

    By the way, links doesn’t need to be placed inside a form. Also HTML tables ought to be used for tabular data only, not for other content. Learn semantic HTML as well.
