David, the problem is that there is no servlet container or web server running
on the local machine. I need the JSP page to load the CSS page correctly
whether it's deployed on tomcat or not.

You are right, the problem is with the way JSPs are deployed. I do use the
first servlet-mapping pattern, which does NOT match the full path, but rather
the context path /testapp.
I like your idea of using filters to rewrite CSS paths. Could you give me a
hint on how to do that best?
Thanks.
I have a different perspective on using consistent environments across
development and design teams. I think it will be unreasonable to expect
designers to change a CSS file, update the WAR file and redeploy it on the
local Tomcat instane just to see how CSS changes affected the look of the

Actually, if you're in a hurry, you could just use the URL Rewrite Filter
-- see http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ -- an incredibly handy tool
Beautiful! I'll give it a try!
Thanks.

The problem is that my JSP uses relative paths to reference CSS files. These
paths work fine in the static mode, i.e. when I open JSP file directly in the
browser without deploying it on Tomcat. However, when I deploy the JSP all
relative links stop working.
Here is an example. Suppose I have

Hi,
I have a problem I've been struggling with for the last couple of hours.
Basically, I need to configure Tomcat (preferably using web.xml) to server
requests for CSS pages from a certain context path. For example, I want Tomcat
to serve the request for /css/styles.css from
