You're getting blank pages or no styles because ${context_root} is not
a real variable, the string "${context_root}" may even be in your
generated HTML, which would be way wrong.
Actually, ${context_root} was a placeholder for the correct variable
that I didn't know the exact value of off the top of my head, you
probably want to use ${requestScope.contextPath}. If you're not in a
JSTL 2.0 environment you'll have to surround it with <c:out
value="..."/>. Also, the path after the ${} will have to match what
directory you put it into when you build your war file.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for the suggestion, I agree with you.
But when I changed my JSP Web-inf/jsp/non-tiles.jsp
to point to my .css and .js in your suggested way, I get weird behaviour in
the browsers.
In IE 6, I get a blank page *(yes a totally white blank page)
In Mozilla firefox 2.0 , I get simple content (as before making this
changes) without applying the stylesheets... what am I doing wrong now.
Here's non-tiles.jsp code , may be you can spot the culprit.
