Thanks Jeff, Steve: Giving me a lot of ideas: Sadly I'm still running
full speed into mud ...
I have changed the image directory to reside under my WEB-INF folder, do
I need to configure this in one of the xml files as well? ie.
application web.xml, or server.xml or something?
I have written a filter that does authentication: It serves the
index.shtml file, but for some reason I have to specify it as
WEB-INF\index.shtml to make it work ...
snip ---
if (!validated) {
// Create the RequestDispatcher
Globals.utility.Log(className,
"doFilter:",
"Forwarding to " + getHtmlResult, 5);
RequestDispatcher rd = config.getServletContext().
getRequestDispatcher( getHtmlResult );
rd.forward( req, res );
return ;
}
--- snip
where getHtmlResult is a string I read from a xml file. To make it work
I need to specify WEB-INF\index.shtml in my xml file.
This then serves the html, but none of my stylesheets or images are
displayed ...
snip ---
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
<img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Home" width="142" height="60" border="0"
hspace="0" vspace="0">
--- snip
