Release Notes 5.2.1 Page edited by Howard M. Lewis Ship Changes (1) Prior releases of Tapestry attempted to "optimize" URLs, by creating relative URLs where appropriate. Unfortunately, that caused its own problems with Ajax requests, since the base URL for an Ajax request is not the same as the base URL for the enclosing page. In any case, this feature has been removed, all URLs are now complete URLs (they start with a leading slash, and include the context path and the additional path that describes the page, page activation context, etc.). {html} ...
