Paths in CSS files

Hi all,
 
I have a question about accessing resources from within CSS files,
images mainly.  Take the following CSS snippet.
 
.bt {
 background:url(/image/box.png) no-repeat 100% 0;
 margin:0 0 0 18px;
 height:17px;
 }

Particularly the url "/image/box.png".  Potentially my Tomcat web
application may be run with a context path so "/image/" becomes
"/contextpath/image" and all the CSS breaks.  Is there a way round this?
Or should I be placing the urls somewhere else?
 
Thanks.
 
Mike.

Something I've done before is rename my css files to jsp and use $ 
{pageContext.request.contextPath} within them.

<%@page contentType="text/css"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

#header {
     margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
     height: 100px;
     background: url(${pageContext.request.contextPath}/image/ 
logo.gif) top
}

background:url(${pageContext.request.contextPath}/image/box.png)
no-repeat 100% 0;

Parse those files as JSPs and the above will take care of it :-)

HTH,
