Hi Edwin,

(note, RIFE really generates absolute paths, not absolute URLs since the protocol and the domain name are not included)

I think that generating relative paths would actually create more problems and be more confusing. It doesn't mean that absolute paths will not be needed anymore. For example, you should use still be able to easily generate absolute URLs inside REST responses, emails, ... This means that there has to also be a second set of methods to obtain relative paths as opposed to the current absolute ones (getSubmissionQueryUrlRelative or so) and you'll have to still introduce that configuration parameter to have the absolute URLs being generated correctly.

I think it's much clearer to generate them with just one approach, ie. absolute paths.

Hi Geert,

This would certainly solve my problem, but I think it would be more appropriate for rife to generate relative urls without the servlet rootcontext and without
a leading "/".
I think it will than work in all circumstances as long as the base url is correct(standard servlet context URL or overridden by the PROXY_ROOTURL parameter). I think there is no need for the application to be aware of the servlet context it runs in.

What do you think?

2007/1/3, Geert Bevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Hi Edwin,

I see, I misunderstood your problem. There isn't currently anything
in RIFE that does this.

Would having a PROXY_WEBAPP_CONTEXT configuration parameter do what
you want? Instead of going to the servlet context to obtain the real
path of the web application root URL, it would use the value of this
parameter. You can then set that to an empty string.

Best regards,

Geert
