Eclipse can't find my image file when generating HTML

[Mateo1041]

Hi all,

I'm trying to reference an image in a Java web project using the following code:

out.println("<img src=\"test.jpg\">");

or

out.println("<img src=\"resources/test.jpg\">");

However, no matter where I try placing the test.jpg file, I just can't seem to reference it as I get a broken image. Here are a few of the places I've tried placing it:

• Directory (the project)
• Directory > resources
• Directory > WebContent
• Directory > WebContent > resources

Am I doing something wrong? If I manually try referencing the image from a browser, I just get the same main project page again:

ocalhost:8080/Directory/test.jpg

I'm working with Eclipse 3.4.1 and using XAMPP + Tomcat in a Windows XP Pro SP3 environment. The Java project I'm working on works just fine, but I just cannot seem to find out how to reference external images or other files (CSS, XSL, etc).

Any help would really be appreciated! I'm a PHP developer by trade, so this is fairly frustrating.

Thanks,
- Matt

Thanks, but what about if I'm just trying to display the image via generated HTML, such as via XSLT through the Saxon library?

I got this to work. My trouble with displaying external files such as images was due to a combination of things, most noticeably not fully understanding the web.xml file, how Tomcat structures things, nor the proper URL to use.
