Struts has a tag that will put the context path on the front of the src URL for you. Here's an example:
<html:img page="/images/leiste_oben.jpg" width="430" height="80" border="0" alt=""/> If you want to reserve the option to internationalize what image gets displayed, Struts has good support for that, too. For instance, if you have a button image with some text on it, and you want to be able to show different images for different languages, you can put the image path in the ApplicationResources.properties file and use something like this: <html:img pageKey="button.clickMe.src"/> You can also use the altKey attribute of the <html:img> tag to internationalize the ALT, um, thingy. <html:img pageKey="button.clickMe.src" altKey="button.clickMe.alt"/> In your base ApplicationResources.properties file, you might have something like this: button.clickMe.src=/images/button_clickMe.jpg button.clickMe.alt=Click Me You can override these values for other languages in locale-specific versions of the ApplicationResources.properties file. One thing to be careful of with specifying images this way is that if you set the size in the <html:img> tag (which is a good idea to speed rendering performance in the browser), make sure that all the images for a given button match the size that is specified. They don't exist now, but it might be useful if heightKey and widthKey attributes were added to the <html:img> tag to allow those to be looked up in the properties file as well. That way you could specify different sizes for the images if they happen to be different for different locales.
