After discussion with Howard Moore on struts-user ("FormTag Problem"), I
have attached my copy of FormTag.java, based on revision 1.2.
This allows you to have jsps and actions in a subdirectory of the context
root, i.e.
If http://<somehost>/myapp/admin/logon.jsp contains:
<html:form action="logon.do" ...>
the action mapping becomes "/admin/logon", and
the html contains: action="logon.do"
And if http://<somehost>/myapp/admin/logon.jsp contains:
<html:form action="/admin/logon.do" ...>
the action mapping becomes "/admin/logon", and
the html contains: action="/myapp/admin/logon.do"
Without the change, all jsps have to be in the root of the web app.
The change works for extension mapping but not prefix mapping as I don't
believe there is a way for the tag to find out the prefix being used.
