Application Context Access
I dont understand the following:
I have a struts application, lets call it MyApp,
which actions call jsp pages under MyApp/WEB-INF/pages.
additionally, I have images stored in the root of my
application (MyApp/images).
Why cant I access the images in MyApp using the relative
path /images? If I do so in a jsp file (eg. MyApp/WEB-INF/
pages/home.jsp) forwarded from my action, the relative
directory /images is not known...I have to use /MyApp/images/.
>From a jsp in the root (e.g. MyApp/home.jsp) every works fine
with images accessed by /images.
Does anyone has a quick explanation for me? :)
thanks a lot!

Relative paths starting with "/" are assumed to be relative to the server,
not the current directory. Try:
<img src="../../images/logo.gif">
