I am working on a j2ee web application.
I want the url 
   http://server.com/
to go to my servlet called "Stuff".
I want the url 
   http://server.com/images/foo.gif 
to show the gif stored in the images directory in the root directory
of
the servlet. ie, I want all images (and other resources like .css and
.js
files) to be loaded by the default servlet built into the servlet
container, but I want the / url to be sent to my servlet.  What is the
configuration I can set in my web.xml file to get this to happen.  The
solution must be j2ee app server agnostic.

I can set it to map  /stuff to Stuff and then the images will load,
but if
I map / to Stuff then everything else above / (like /images/foo.gif)
get mapped to the Stuff servlet, so then the images don't load.

How can I get the images to load when I set the Stuff servlet to be at
/?

Thanks,
- Joshua

Dear Joshua -

I'll add this as a comment, since it is not exactly what you asked
for, but I believe it will solve your problem:

1) Create a jsp-file (Java server pages) named index.jsp.
2) Embed your servlet inside index.jsp
3) Tell your server to hand out index.jsp as the default document.
4) Configure the other options as usual.

Good luck!
