Hi Tim, Jeppe, and others who have replied... I have spent a few more hours, but there are just too many variables and I haven't been able to figure them out. I logged the various locations (running under a standalone jetty, not mvn jetty:run, and got this:
INFO - TEMP = /tmp/Jetty_0_0_0_0_8080_tent. 0.1.SNAPSHOT.war____vtra6b INFO - REAL = /tmp/Jetty_0_0_0_0_8080_tent. 0.1.SNAPSHOT.war____vtra6b/webapp INFO - URL = file:/tmp/Jetty_0_0_0_0_8080_tent. 0.1.SNAPSHOT.war____vtra6b/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/ I tried to access images, both from the HTML served to my browser and from Scala snippets. I used the following paths: Images/testimage.jpg work/Images/testimage.jpg classes/work/Images/testimage.jpg WEB-INF/classes/work/Images/testimage.jpg. The latter path is what I see in my .war file... I have no special filters. I tried to add entries to my site map, but none of them worked. About to give up. Hope somebody will help me. Job H.
