Hello,

Please try relative path "../../inc/styleFormu.css". Also check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12344406/style-paths-in-java-ee-applications

Here is all I tried but nothing works... Seems the file doesn't exists but it's in the out folder anyway.
The file taglibs.jsp is yet working.
I really don't understand, maybe it's from settings or project structure?

Works fine with my test project. Please try to move .jsp outside "WEB-INF" folder.

But what's the point of having WEB-INF folder if you cannot place anything in it?
Is there no other option to use jsp with external ressources?

There is a lot of problems like that in the net, but I can't find a proper answer...

You placed index.jsp in /WEB-INF folder. This way it is not publicly accessible without calling through a front controller servlet.

The Servlet 2.4 specification says this about WEB-INF (page 70):

A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren’t in the document root of the application. The WEB-INF node is not part of the public document tree of the application. No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may be served directly to a client by the container. However, the contents of the WEB-INF directory are visible to servlet code using the getResource and getResourceAsStream method calls on the ServletContext, and may be exposed using the RequestDispatcher calls.

Ok, ok...
I had no index, it was an annotation redirecting directly in a WEB-INF jsp through a servlet.
I solve this before your last answer by using filters, but I now begin to understand how it works...

Need more practise!!
By the way, thank you for your help!!


I don't know how to mark this post as completed...

Sorry, it should be "formu.jsp", not "index.jsp". Nice to hear that it works now. There is no need to add any marks to the post.
