Imgaes redirection in Iplanet 6.1 SP4

Question

Hi all,
We have a webapp with iPlanet 6 and Weblogic 8.1. The entire application is deployed on Weblogic, while the iPlanet is just a Web Server directing all requests to the Weblogic server.
The iPlanet is configured to use the domain www.some_company.com/ebill and that was configured as the context in the Weblogic.
The issue we have is with static URLs in the JSP pages like �/images/a.jpg� or �../images/b.jpg� are not displayed when running under this URL context. Only when the iPlanet and Weblogic are configured to use the root context "/" they are displayed.
Also, when changing the application code to use �images/a.jpg� without the �/� in the beginning the images are being presented. However, I would like get an opinion if it is possible to solve this via iPlanet configuration and not thru code changes.
My obj.conf is attached below. Please advise.

We have changed default thin driver to 920 from 817 in 610sp4. If you are using 817
dbserver, please put 817 classes12.zip in your classpath before weblogic.jar and you will
be ok.

Our application used to update a NUMBER(15) column in Oracle with current time
in milliseconds.
After migrating from SP3 to SP4 I observed that ORA-01438 was being thrown during
the update intermittently.
Increasing the size to default NUMBER, I observed that the values getting inserted
are sometime random like 59, 81 digits long!
The update code just does a prepared statement and does setObject of a java.lang.Long.
I am using the oracle thin driver in oracle's classes12.zip.
I am sure that this is happening since using SP4, have anyone faced similar problems?
