Re: simple JSP redirect to another page -- how to deal with relative URLs

David, I want to redirect perhaps a dozen links in directories that have a main page accessed something like: /stuff/start-page.html In thinking about this, maybe my best solution is to rename the main page to index.html for simplicity and use the

David, Yes, I understand how relative paths work. The problem is that the jsp include directives: - include an html page that is *not* in the same directory as the jsp page; - the relative links in the included html file are supposed to be relative to their own directory not the directory

I see the problem. You could use absolute paths in jsp includes and the servlet container would understand them as relative to the webapp's root as opposed to the server's root: Say you have this file layout webapp |index.jsp |article1 |index.jsp |article1.html |

Hassan, As I said there are other issues. Making them fixed paths would mean I couldn't edit them, copy them (for revisions, etc) without having to fix up numerous pages. And the uses are not only when routed through a web server. Lloyd On Apr 25, 2008, at 1:08 PM, Hassan Schroeder

Christopher, Well, I'm not a web expert, so if there's a better way (redirect) I'm all ears. From what I can find by googling, redirects have a slew of issues of their own. But I'm a newbie at this, so I might be misunderstanding. How would I do a redirect in Tomcat for my stated issue,

Never mind .. I saw your other responses and the best solution is the redirect option. After following the redirect, the browser will have the correct URL for calculating the full url of each of the page's resources. --David David Smith wrote: I see the problem. You could use absolute
