Hi Group: Please help ...

I'm very new to servlets, though I do have a lot of programming
experience. My problem is that I can't seem to get images displayed
properly using Tomcat as the web server. 

I have a very simple layout ...

webapps
/servlet
        index.shtml
        /WEB-INF        -> My servlets and web.xml
/images
        contains my images

I manage to serve the index.shtml quite easily, my problem is that I
can't get the images displayed without specifying the whole url in the
form file:///dir/to/images/image.gif, and I think this is wrong. 

There is a lot of information regarding how to configure a web server to
display the images, and this I can do fine, but I would like to only run
Tomcat: My site is very small, and the latency in Tomcat would not
effect it. My question is in how to specify the url for the image in the
html,

I have tried "image.gif", "/servlet/image.gif", "../image/image.gif",
"/servlet/../image/image.gif", etc, etc.

Now I suspect I'm missing something very stupid, but sadly I have no
idea what. I do not want to code the image display, as far as I know,
Tomcat should be able to handle such a simple html site. 

My servlets work well, database connectivity and all, and the site works
well if I use apache as well, but how to do this without Apache is
currently beyond me.

Any information or just hints in the correct direction would be greatly
appreciated.
