I would also like to know why other tags (ie img) use a relative path to the
calling file, while the get tags do not.
For example the line in a template file:
<html:img src="../graphics/picture.jpg"/>
render the path relative to the file that called the template (ex
/nested/body/body.jsp), whereas:
<template:get name='body'/>
renders 'body' relative to the location of the template file>

Subject: Templates and relative paths
I'm using templates, but I would prefer to "put" relative paths to the
template vs. an absolute path.
For example, a file using templates might look like:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld" prefix="template" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<head><html:base/></head>
<template:insert template="../templates/template.jsp">
<template:put name="body" content ="/body/body.jsp"/>
</template:insert>
Whereas I'd rather send the realtive path to the template ala:
<template:put name="body" content ="body.jsp"/>
or even
<template:put name="body" content ="../body.jsp"/>
I can't seem to do this as the template always look for the file relative to
its own location, and not the location of the calling file.
Intestingly, if I put an <html:base/> tag in my template, the base it
outputs is the location of the calling file.
