Hi,

i have tried the absolute path

  <img border="0" src="/images/topImage.gif" width="300" height="15">

which renders to

  http://localhost:8080/images/topImage.gif     (which i know is not
the good path)

but in the jsp we access the resource like this

  <img border="0" src="<%=request.getContextPath() +
"/images/topImage.gif"%>" width="300" height="15">

which renders to

  http://localhost:8080/TEST/images/topImage.gif   (where TEST is my
application)

this worked fine for my partner on his sample controller servlet but did
not have any server side code except the jsp
also when i look at the deployed application in Eclipse it gives me this
path

C:\Program
Files\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\_webapps\TEST\images_

so the path is good (i think) when i look at the properties of the
images on the html page

you said all the resources should make a request to the server but what
i can't understand is why is it being caught and treated by my servlet

that's why i assumed there was some configuration problem so these
request would be treated by a default servlet of some sort and not my
servlet
which is configured to have event types for every request and treats
these requests for resources as "unknown events"

my lack of knowledge in servlets is probably misleading me here
