Hi,
In my web application (using struts), I have login.jsp as welcome file.
I've defined the welcome file in web.xml as follows:
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/jsp/login.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
And in login.jsp, I'm using relative path to load images and style sheet.
My directory structure is as follows:
---web | |--css | |--jsp | |--images | |--WEB-INF
login.jsp is located in /web/jsp folder.
In login.jsp, I'm including style sheet as follows: <link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
"../css/style.css" --> the style sheet is located in /web/css folder.
Now, when I browse http://localhost:8080/myApp, login.jsp is displayed as welcome page, but the style sheet is not found. Same is the case with images on login.jsp. (this problem is occurring on Linux)
But when I use http://localhost:8080/myApp/jsp/login.jsp, then it is displaying everything perfectly.
And http://localhost:8080/myApp displays the login page correctly on Windows.
Any idea what could be the problem?

The browser makes the request for the images and stylesheet relative to the path it *thinks* the login.jsp is at. In this case it sees the login.jsp page as being:
http://localhost:8080/myApp/login.jsp
so when it tries to access the stylesheet it is looking for:
http://localhost:8080/myApp/../css/style.css
which becomes:
http://localhost:8080/css/style.css
and that doesn't exist. What you can do is use some global forwards in your struts-config.xml such as
<global-forwards>
<forward name="baseStylesheet" path="/css/style.css"/>
</global-forwards>
and in your login.jsp do this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<html:rewrite forward='baseStylesheet' />" />
Then the rewrite should put in the path relative to the web application eg it will put in the path '/myApp/css/style.css'
You can use the <html:img> tags for your images.
