I have a WEB Project that I am developing using an image on an HTML page, however at runtime it shows a broken link for all the images I have. I know it may be just a configuration issue, however I can’t seem to correct it. I am using the latest of everything, 5.5m2 and Tomcat. In design mode I see it however when I try to run this from the IDE it does not work. I have my image directory under c:\MyProject\WebRoot\WEB-INF\img What am I doing wrong?

Seems like a mapping problem at runtime. You need to check if you are using the correct RELATIVE PATH. Try hard coding the path of the image and see if that works. You img folder should be in the same directory as the html file and then use a Relative Path which looks something like “img/<image name>.jpg”

so my physical path is c:\home\Project\WebRoot\Login.html for my page and c:\home\Project\WebRoot\WEB-INF\img\myimage.jpg for the image within the page. The relative path is /WEB-INF/img/myimage.jpg. Is there a global setting for my projects images? Does this need to be setup in TomCat?

rick,
WEB-INF is a protected directory. You cannot access anything in it publically. You need to move your images under the root of your project (WebRoot\img) and update all your paths.
