I am new to the jsp/servlet world. I am having a problem as follows

This is the directory structure that I have on the system -
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/site1
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/site1/display.jsp
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/site2
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/site3
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/site3/test.txt

Now I login to site1 and display.jsp gets displayed

This page has following
a tag ---- href="/site3/test.txt"><img src="display-test.gif" border="0">

when I click on the image I get following error

HTTP Status 404 - /site3/test.txt
type Status report
message /site3/test.txt
description The requested resource (/site3/test.txt) is not available.


Help needed please to solve this problem

Thanks
Rawar

Rawar, you must specify the relative path of you resource including the context path of your application, if you don't, the web conteiner won´t found it to u.

So u have to specify like this:

href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/site3/test.txt".

I'm new to the web world too and I think this could help. If not, post reply to the topic.

Regards, Rafael.

It does not work that way either. Now I am getting following error message. Now this time it says /site1/site3/test.txt
instead of /site3/test.txt

HTTP Status 404 - /site1/site3/test.txt
type Status report
message /site1/site3/test.txt
description The requested resource (/site1/site3/test.txt) is not available.

I need to access the files that are located at /site3 from /site1 app.

Need help.
