In theory I should be able to take my webapp (starting with the base directory that contains the WEB-INF subdirectory) and deploy it using any "name" I'd like, so I could easily deploy the same webapp with URLs like http://mydomain.com/ (using the root context) or http://mydomain.com/app1/ or even http://mydomain.com/app2/ etc.
However, JSPs can include files using the "/" root to indicate I'm talking about a file at the top of the webapp directory and that works fine. But images need to include URLs that that aren't processed by tomcat (so it doesn't know about the webapp's "base" directory), so I have to use names like "/images/image.gif" or "/app1/images/image.gif" or "/app2/images/image.gif" depending on where the webapp was actually deployed. While I can use relative paths for such images much of the time, when using servlets that redirect/forward or whatever, the "current directory" is not always the same, so you can't just use "images/image.gif" or "../images/image.gif" to make it work. How are people coding their JSPs and servlets that return IMG tags so that the images can always be defined without including the webapp path name?
