i think you can use tilde
for example :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/contextRoot/rootOnServer/external.css">

hi guleri,

maybe I am wrong or do not understand.

Addressing a resource outside the webapps folder is normally not allowed.
The ROOT "/" normally addresses you application root (for example tomcat environment)

/tomcat/webapps/<your_app>/

That is for security reasons, because else anyone could adresse http://your_open_server/etc/<one of your config files>

the "~" means the users home which in case of tomcat (running as user "tomcat" hopefully) addresses /home/tomcat which normally does not exists.

But as I wrote before, maybe I didn't get your question.

regards

Attach the web context to a resource that start with "/" is a common approach of J2EE application.

does this works?
<?link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/../external.css"?>
