Al, do you have any idea?

I'm a bit confused about ContextImage; according to the javadocs the image

In my markup I've got:
img wicket:id=logo src=mylogo.gif /
Then I add the Context image to my WebPage:
add(new ContextImage(logo, images/logos/mylogo.gif));
... and I end up with:
img src=../images/logos/mylogo.gif /
My application is deployed with a context root of /myapp and this doesn't
work, it will only work if the application is deployed with a context root
of /. I've checked the source which ContextImage uses to get the context
root and in org.apache.wicket.Request it says:
/**
* Gets a prefix to make this relative to the context root.

* For example, if your context root is http://server.com/myApp/ and the
request is for

* @return Prefix relative to this request required to back up to context

public abstract String getRelativePathPrefixToContextRoot();
To me this just seems plain wrong, here it clearly states that the context
root is http://server.com/myApp/; but the example prefix of ../../
relative to /myApp/mountedPage/ does not take you to the context root of
/myApp/ but to /.
This is very confusing as I've always considered the context root of a java
web application to to be the path upon which it is deployed on the
application server, whether that be /, /myApp or /apps/myApp and in the
above case I do not end up with an image path relative to the context root.
Without hard-coding the name of my context root in the image path (bad idea
for portability) how can I reference static images stored in an images
directory under the context root?
Should I file this as a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
