Re: a very simple question - outputting images from a servlet

There is no guarantee that relative paths from a servlet will work.

Why not just use a "web app relative" path. For example, suppose the
following directory structure:

c:\[tomcat]\MyWebApp\images\myimage.gif

Just use the following tag:

<img src="/images/myimage.gif"/>
