Directory Issues

[jazz17782]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a real hard time trying to reference resources in different directories in my webapp. I'm using eclipse 3.2.1 with tomcat ver 5.5. My directory structure looks like this;


AcegiObs
|-WebContent
|-css
|-default.css
|-secure
|-main.jsp
|-WEB-INF
|-login.jsp


I have a reference to the default.css stylesheet in the css folder from the main.jsp in the secure folder. It goes like this;


<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="/css/default.css">


However nothing is loaded. I have tried omitting the "/" and many different directory paths, including the full directory from the root of the app, but nothing is working. Can anyone help?

I am using tomcat ver 5.5 in the eclipse 3.2.1 IDE.

Does this work?

<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="../css/default.css">

No this doesn't work unfortunately

What is your context root?

My context root is AcegiObs

Does this work?

<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="/WebContent/css/default.css">

Other than that, I'm dry for ideas and solutions.

I was going to say try "/AcegiObs/css/default.css" but you indicate you've already tried that. What goes in the stdout and stderr logs when that request fails?

What's the full URL of the page that is using the web application?

And, what is the full working URL of the css file?
