Where to put js scripts on tomcat server...

Greetings,

I assume this has been asked before, but I can't seem to track it down in
the archives
or any other document I have found.

I am having trouble inserting a

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="filename.js"></script>

into my HTML output and the browser being able to find the JS file.

I have tried putting the js files into various directories but have not been
successful in find the correct place.

I have tried putting them in the following locations:

webapps/*
webapps/myservlet/*
webapps/myservlet/WEB-INF
webapps/ROOT
webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF

but none of these fix the problem of the missing JS file in the brower.

Any pointers on what I may be doing wrong (I assume that Tomcat can
serve up the JS files just as it can my Image files).

Thanks in advance,

Don Reese

Hi Jacob,

With your confirmation as to where the files should be, I was
able to track down the issue and it is now resolved.  Case
sensitivity was the issue - fixed that and now all is well.

It will be relative to the directory you see in your browser.  For 
instance, if you have this...

http://localhost:8080/mycontext/mypage.jsp

The .jsp file below would be loaded from the root of /mycontext just like 
mypage.jsp is.  The URL to it would be...

http://localhost:8080/mycontext/filename.js

Keep in mind that the <script> source path has nothing to do with servlet 
mappings and such.  It is resolved by the browser.  This means it 
definitely cannot be under WEB-INF since that is not directly accessible 
via a browser.  It is a server-side concept so only server-side code has 
access to it.  Here is where it would physically exist in your webapp...

/webapps/mycontext/filename.js
