title: Why doesn't my image show in a jsp? [confused]
body: <p>I'm new to Spring MVC and the Spring framework in general and I'm trying to learn it.</p>
  
  <p>I did a small "hello world" project using the Spring Tool Suite and encountered a strange issue. So I started a new Spring Project and chose Spring MVC Project. I created a controller and a view jsp page to display a hello page. All is working fine. There is no problem here.
  Then I decided to include a picture in my jsp page. I copied a picture to the "webapp/resources" folder and put an img tag like this in my view page (whose path is "webapp/WEB-INF/views/hello.jsp"). The tag looks like this :</p>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>When I run the application and go to my view page it doesn't show the image in STS internal browser or in my regular browser. I tried to view the source of the page from my browser and the source does have the img tag but for some reason it's not shown.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to put the image directly in "webapp/WEB-INF/views" along with my jsp file and changed the tag to this:</p>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>but still no success. Finally, I blamed this on my inexpirience with creating jsp's and tried to open up my regular Eclipse IDE (i.e. one different from STS) and created a Dynamic Web Project where I inserted the tag into a jsp file and copied the picture in one of the project's subfolders. I ran the project and now it works ; the picture is shown.</p>
  
  <p>Why is happening this? Why it works in a regular web project and doesn't work in a Spring MVC Project? Thank you for your time and I appreciate if you help me! </p>
