CSS in Servlet help (version 2!!)

Hi everyone!

This may be the simpliest thing to most of you but I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a little help on how i can call and use a CSS in a servlet...

Here's what i tried:

out.println("<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" href=\"someCSS.css\" type=\"text/css\" title = \"someCSS\">");

I have also tried putting the .css files inside different directories
Web\WEB-INF\classes\someCSS.css
or
Web\WEB-INF\someCSS.css
or even
Web\someCSS.css

I really don't know what's wrong, I did try searching through the forums but it's not leading me anywhere...

Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated

Well, I would suggest using a web root relative url for the css file. Place the css file somewhere web accessible like

Web\someCSS.css

(WEB-INF is not web accessible). Then you can get to it by telling the browser to find it relative to the web root like this

out.println("<link rel=\"alternate stylesheet\" href=\"" + req.getContextPath() + "/someCSS.css\" type=\"text/css\" title = \"someCSS\">");
