When I have multiple web applications running on the one server - I'm having problems
referencing files in other directories.
eg - I can't use "/images/anImage.gif" because that references the document root. I
can use "<%= request.getContextPath() %>/images/anImage.gif" ,but that gets tedious.
Is there a better way to do it?
The other problem I have is referencing images from stylesheets and javascript files.
Because they don't go through the JSP processor, I can't use request.getContextPath()
. Without mapping .css and .js to the jsp servlet - is there a way around this?
Also - with include files - are they always rooted from the web context
ie <@ include file="/includes/pageheader.jsp" %> —--> does this map to
http://myserver.com/mywebapp/includes/pageheader.jsp ?
Does the same go for <jsp:include page="/includes/pageheader.jsp" /> ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
