GAE can't serve my image

Question

I need help fixing the following error when I run my webapp:

com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalResourceFileServlet doGet WARNING: 
    No file found for: /images/banner.jpg

I've already setup the config file to include that folder in web-inf:

<static-files>
     <include path="/images/**.jpg" />   
</static-files>

I am using Spring 2.5 btw for my project but I have already set the url mapping in the dispatcher servlet for my spring beans only and not "/" so that the request for the image goes back to the server:

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>hardwire</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/web</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

My directory structure in war folder looks like

web-inf/

• account/ <-- where all my jsps are
• images/
• etc

Answer 1

(sigh) I finally resolved my issue after much googling. Turns out the httpserver looks for the images outside the WEB-INF folder. X)
