The WEB-INF folder is not visitable for security reasons; that's the
main point of its existence. Even if it was, you had to write
src="/WEB-INF/images/logo.png". So move the "images" directory one
level higher. See the Servlet specs for more info.

Also, "/images" won't work if the context path (again, see in the
Servlet specs) is not just "/" but something like "/mywebapp".

But all this has nothing to do with FreeMarker really. These are
Servlet questions.
