how to access image files in eclipse (servlet/html)

enter image description here

my directory structure looks like this. i want to apply an image present in the resources folder(or any other folder) to my servlet ..

the code:

out.println("<body background='/resources/a.jpg'>");

but this is not loading up the image onto the webpage. i have tried placing it in src ,,,and accessing it via 

out.println("<body background='/a.jpg'>");

but still nothing works.am i doing something wrong here? one more thing - the image works fine in other standalone webpages i create. i have also tried placing it directly besides the class file..that doesnt work either.

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
  <display-name>second</display-name>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>ram</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>pack.MyServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>data</param-name>
      <param-value>a.jpg</param-value>
    </init-param>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ram</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/run</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Make sure the resources folder is viewable to the end user. I would try a test image and see if you can view it in the browser e.g:

http://localhost/myimages/1.jpg

If the above displays then you know that it is correctly getting access to the image.

You have to add your resources folder to the list of source folders.

Right Click -> Build Path -> Use as source folder

If you don't, then Eclipse won't copy the folder into the output folder and you can't access them in the way you tried to do.

Make sure that "resources" folder is at classpath of your web application.
