<c:out value="${pageContext.contextPath}" />

If, however, you want this to convert a context-relative path to
an absolute path ("server-relative"), e.g. in an HTML element,
take a look at <c:url>:

   <img src="<c:url value="/images/foo.gif" />">

turns the context-relative path into an absolute path that the
browser knows how to deal with.
