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

try using a fully qualified url

If you use /site3/test.txt, the web conteiner will look for your path on the root context.

Try using <%request.getContextPath()%>/site3/test.txt

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

Now I am getting following error message.
This time it says /site1/site3/test.txt
instead of /site3/test.txt

Details error is like this
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.

So try using href="../site3/test.txt". Sorry, when u want to use contextPath, try ${pageContext.request.contextPath}. Try to avoid using scriptlets, use JSTL.
