Been there (though I went through 5.5 and 6.0 to get there in a
relatively short amount of time).

Although this should work, I always recommend using context-relative
URLs like this:
<link type="text/css" href="<%=
response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath() + "/lightStyle.css") %>" />
This will ensure that your URLs resolve properly no matter how the
.jsp is being evaluated (for instance, in an include or after a
forward, where the client's URL may not match what your JSP expects).

That doesn't seem right.

I have a hard time believing that Tomcat is modifying anything: in the
case above, Tomcat does not interpret anything at all. As far as
Tomcat is concerned, the above is just a string of characters like
"Hello, World" and has no URL context or anything like that.
Are you sure this isn't being included by another JSP or forwarded
from another URL?

What does the output of the JSP look like? That is, what is the actual
content of the page as seen by the client?
