Unable to load the images in the jsp page

I have created a simple jsp page in the spring mvc project. But i am unable to load the images from the image folder. I tried with Real path and Context path still I am unable to load the images in to the jsp file.

Real path:

<%
 String realPath = application.getRealPath("/");
%>

 <img src="<%=realPath%>images\logo.png" alt="student" title="student">

Context Path:

<%
 String contextPath = request.getContextPath();
%>
 <img src="<%=realPath%>images\logo.png" alt="student" title="student">

My project folder struture looks like

enter image description here

Did I miss something? Do I need to make any configurations in the web.xml?

Any suggestions?

  1. You cannot use real path, because the browser will not be on the same machine as the webapp!!
  2. You cannot use \, because URLs must use /.
  3. Don't use Java code in JSP, especially when EL variables are there to be used.
  4. You are missing a /. Quoting javadoc of getContextPath():

    The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character.

This is how to do it:

<img src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/logo.png" alt="student" title="student">

You must configure your static resources like images, js and css files like that: 

<mvc:resources mapping="/images/**" location="/images/"/>

In the above example, any requests from this url pattern /images/**, Spring will look for the resources from the /images folder.
