If you are using Tomcat or another Servlets 2.2 compliant Servlet
Container,
Turbine runns within a 'web application' which is contained in a
directory.
Each web application is mapped onto a 'context' inside the servers URL
namespace.
URL namespace
http://server.acme.com/foo/images/blank.gif or /foo/images/blank.gif
--- ---
context
servers filesystem namespace
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/foo/images/blank.gif
----------------------------
web application
To reference an image, you need to put context name into the URLs and
then
the path witin your webapp.
You can do it in a convinent way using the following in your WebMacro
template
$content.getURI("/images/blank.gif")
note that it doesn't guess the path to the 'images' directory. You need
to specify the path from your webapp root.
Hope that helps...
