Ok. For the moment I'm handling it with a application init-param
appDir="/myRoot" that I append to every path as:
<img src="${appDir}/images/etc.gif"/>.A bit crude, but it works. Feels a bit strange though that most of the <c:xxx /> tags work relative the application while direct references in the response works relative the server. It becomes a problem if you use css "background-image:url(...);" in a separate style sheet too.
