I am new to servlets and Velocity templates and I am trying to link my .vm template to a .css file. The .vm file and the css file are in the ROOT directory of Tomcat. The file itself displays fine but the css does not work. The following link does not work: <pre><code><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/> </code></pre> nor does passing the filename as an attribute: <pre><code>String stylesheet = "style.css"; req.setAttribute("stylesheet", stylesheet); </code></pre> and then referencing as such: <pre><code><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="$stylesheet"/> </code></pre> Also, I cannot bring up the css file in the browser, even though it is definitely there. web.xml contains the following: <pre><code> <servlet> <servlet-name>testvmservlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>net.myapp.app.TestVMServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>testvmservlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/velocity.service</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>  <servlet> <servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.velocity.tools.view.servlet.VelocityViewServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.vm</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </code></pre> Do I need to reference the css file relative to the app or relative to Velocity? I have since adjusted one of my servlet mappings from: <pre><code><servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>startupservlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </code></pre> to: <pre><code><servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>startupservlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/foo</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </code></pre> and now the css works fine. But I am unsure as to why this mapping was having an effect at all. As I understand it <code><url-pattern>/</url-pattern></code> only applies where no path has been specified, however, a request for <code>style.css</code> should constitute a path?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
