I'm confused as to why once I change the servlet-mapping from "/" to "/intro" that the
.gif is read.
The path to the servlet is standard:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ap.org/WEB-INF/classes/intro.class.
The image is in the context root $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ap.org/

the servlet-mapping is not "/"? Can't I just use the same in some other guise - or am
