Looks like you're basically putting your images in its own web app. You
may need a WEB-INF directory and trivial web.xml file under the images
directory in order for Tomcat to like it as a web app (not sure though).
Then, I think your url for the image would be "/images/image.gif".
Alternatively, you could move your images directory to be within your
servlet web app. Then, your url (from index.shtml) would be
"images/image.gif".

Subject: Tomcat 4 StandAlone Web Server, Static HTML and Images
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.
