JSP cannot load the CSS, help!!

[Kelvin Mak]

hi all,
I write a Servlet to call a jsp file with RequestDispatcher class, but the jsp cannot load the css style, and I had set no cache in the meta tag. Any one meet this situation?
Here is the code in servlet

    //Process the HTTP Get request
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
        String destpage = "/query/test.jsp";
        RequestDispatcher rd;
        rd = this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(destpage);
        rd.forward(request, response);
    }

thx in advance!
Kelvin

Three questions:
1) what is your servlet mapped as
2) where is the css on the web root
3) how does the JSP refer to the css (ie "../mycss.css" etc)

The browser is trying to use the servlet URL as if it was a directory where the CSS define with a relative URL can be found.
I really like using the BASE tag to define the base URL where a page should look for resources such as CSS, images, sounds, etc.
