Try this:

<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

It work fines now i did realise what was the problem and how to fix it, it needed just some configuration in the web.xml as below:

<servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/static/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> and in the JSP file it was the call like this :

<body background="static/images/example.jpg"> thx for your help anyway.

WEB-INF is not accessible client-side.

I usually create a static folder next to the WEB-INF one, to store images, JS, CSS, etc.

webapp
|__static
|  |__css
|  |__js
|  |__img
|__WEB-INF
   |__web.xml

Then, access the resources using:

http://localhost:8080/static/images/blueAqua.gif
