oh my. I did not look into tomcat for this one, although I normally do use
it as a test platform (its these 3 for now). Tomcat sure adds another
dimension. Apart from that, I was going to agree that context-relative makes
more sense (however it means that you can get to the server root only with
an absolute URL). The following is from the API docs for
ServletContext.getResource():
"Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a specified path. The path
must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context
root. "
it would be nice to get a statement from orion dev on this (as always)
