Specifying Image Path File From Another Folder in WEB-INF?

I'm including a separate JSP page (header.jsp) into my current home.jsp page as goes:

<jsp:include page='/WEB-INF/Header/header.jsp'/>

In that header.jsp page, I have an image as follows:

<img id="myImage" src="<c:url value='../Images/myImage.jpg'/>" />

But my image is not displaying on my home.jsp even though all the other elements (i.e. paragraphs, anchor links, etc.) found inside header.jsp is displaying normally on the home.jsp page as it should.

My folder structure goes:

MyProject
   WebContent
      WEB-INF
         Header
            header.jsp
         Images
            myImage.jpg
         Views
            Home
               home.jsp

How do I specify the path file to my image (<img id="myImage" src="<c:url value='?/myImage.jpg'/>" />) from within my header.jsp file?

Solution

  • I seem to have it working:

    img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/Images/myImage.jpg"

    Please let me know if this is an ideal way to go about this in JSP.
