What’s the difference between absolute path & relative path when using any web server or Tomcat?
Absolute paths start with / and refer to a location from the root of the current site (or virtual host).
Relative paths do not start with / and refer to a location from the actual location of the document the reference is made.
Examples, assuming root is http://foo.com/site/
Absolute path, no matter where we are on the site
will refer to http://foo.com/site/foo.html
Relative path, assuming the containing link is located in http://foo.com/site/part1/bar.html
will refer to http://foo.com/site/part2/quux.html
or
will refer to http://foo.com/site/part1/part2/blue.html
