Possible Duplicate: Browser can't access CSS and images when calling a Servlet which forwards

Possible Duplicate:
Browser can't access CSS and images when calling a Servlet which forwards to a JSP

I know this question is asked again and again, but I just couldn’t get this to work.

folder structure http://kauko.pingtimeout.net/venttiCap.JPG

I have my images in the WebContent/kuvat/ folder. I also put one of the images directly into the WebContent folder (hertta1.gif). But when I try to use the images like this

<img src="kuvat/hertta1.gif" /> or <img src="hertta1.gif" />

nothing happens. The kuvat/*gif request results in a 404, while the other one is apparently an empty response.

GameServlet is the only Servlet, and it’s mapped to ‘/’. So when using the application I use the address “http://localhost:8080/VenttiWeb/“

I’m using Tomcat7

    Have you tried something like this?

    <img src="/kuvat/hertta1.gif" /> or <img src="/hertta1.gif" />

    Also, it may not be a good idea to hardcode the context path. In a JSP you might try something like:

    <img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/kuvat/hertta1.gif"/>

    And something similar can be done from a servlet using ServletContext instead of a PageContext.
