<a href="/index.jsp">home </a>

because of you are not getting context path there....
use below line...

[code]
<a href=<%request.getContextPath()%>"/index.jsp">home </a>
[code]

Milan Jagatiya's code has an error.

If you are using JSP 1.2, the code to get the context path is

 <%= request.getContextPath() %>   

in JSP 2.0, it should be (no scriptlets):

  ${pageContext.request.contextPath}  

[Milan Jagatiya]

<a href=<%request.getContextPath()%>"/index.jsp">home </a>

yeah Bear,...it was an error...

<a href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/index.jsp">home</a>
