"G*d dammit!" screamed Cartman as he fell off off bike again.
I have the very book sitting to left of my computer. I read the section of
"How URLs Are Interpreted?" chapter 12 Bits and Pieces paginas 265-267
and I thought that the best the best can get and oh well.
I should've kept looking though !

I describe a solution to this problem in my book (Chapter 14): create a URL
mapping for your controller servlet so that you can use a URL to invoke it
"at the same" level in the URI structure as your JSP pages.
Say you have a JSP page at the top level of your URI structure ("foo.jsp") and
it contains a relative URI to an image, "images/dogfood.gif". As you have
discovered, if you invoke the controller with "/servlet/ControllerServlet",
the browser will interpret the relative image path as relative to "/servlet",
and that's not what you want. But if you create a URL mapping for the servlet
so you can invoke it with "/myController", the relative path in the JSP page
will be interpreted relative to "/" instead, and you get the behavior you're
after.
For more about this, read my JavaServer Pages book:
