This is a simple web page to test ViewResource. Note the local images and links are broken. That's because the page has been placed in the ch04 directory with links appropriate for that placement, but it is being served from the client's perspective as if it were in a ch04/servlet directory. The way to work around this issue is to set up ViewResource to serve the /* path. You could also use a <BASE HREF="..."> tag in the HTML if the file might be served from a number of different paths.
