JSP page not displaying the image

Hi

I had a simple JSP file, the code for which is as follows

I had put the image file in the images sub directory under my app directory.
Even then the JSP page is not showing the image

Hi tarun

This can sometimes happen when using relative paths.

you can try giving the absolute path/ path from root

cheers!

Try with <img src="./images/tarun.jsp">.

or probably better

<img src="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/images/tarun.jpg">
or
<img src='<%= request.getContextPath() + "/images/tarun.jpg" %>'>

or in a jsp2.0 container using EL:
<img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/tarun.jpg"/>

Cheers,

Edit: Fixing code (thanks Bear)
- Leading slashes removed.
- changed EL expression from {$request.contextPath} to ${pageContext.request.contextPath}

No "probably" about it. Server-relative references are the best way to ensure that you get what you mean, and removes any artificial coupling between resources cause by page-relative addressing.

or in a jsp2.0 container using EL:
<img src="/${request.contextPath}/images/tarun.jpg"/>

Small correction -- should be:

No leading slash, and "request" is not a builtin scoped variable. You need to obtain the request from the pageContext.

Here's a tip:

Install the Web Developer plugin for FireFox browser. Then navigate to your jsp page using FireFox. In the Web Developer toolbar, select "Images > Find Broken Images".

This will show you exactly what image (full path) is broken. ie.,

http://localhost/yourWebApp/tarun.jpg

Hope this helps
