Ate Douma commented on JS2-275:
-------------------------------
To be able to use relative urls only, the currently used <base> tag poses a
problem.
While most browsers support a relative url value (e.g. /jetspeed/) for the base
tag href attribute, most notably IE does NOT (and the w3c specification says it
should be an "absolute" url, so Microsoft seems to be right on this once).
After looking into our usage of the base tag, I don't see any benefit of it and
its rather easy to use qualified urls for all our (decoration) resources and
not depend on the base tag at all.
I guess the base tag usage is legacy from the time when we used the content
server and our decorations were still hidden beneath /WEB-INF.
So I'm going to solve this by making all our generated (decoration) resource
references properly context relative urls and remove the <base> tag from our
demo decorator header.vm templates.
Note: I won't modify/remove the jetspeed-macros.vm BaseHref macro or the
HeaderResource.HEADER_SECTION_BASE_TAG based generation of a base tag like used
by the desktop (method HeaderResourceImpl.jetspeedGenerateBasetag()), so custom
decorations or desktop themes depending on them will continue to work as is.
But, to be able to access the portal behind a Proxy front end and get a proper
look&feel, you will need to remove the generation of these <base> tags from
your custom decoration templates and/or through HeaderResource
(assembly/headtag.xml, setting header.basetag) yourself.
