If the images were under WEB-INF, the browser couldn't access them. The alternative would be use a runtime expression with html:base (or equivalent) that specified a location for the HTML resources. This must be accessible to the browser, since it is the client that fetches them. The base does not need to be the same location where your JSP source pages are kept. The browser just uses it as a base for the relative references in the file, and wouldn't care if the base file actually existed or not.
You could, for example, provide your own base tag got the current context path and then appended whatever is appropriate to your application (+ /images/). It may be possible to provide more "encapsulation" by using an included Javascript to provide the URL, or something. If you include a javascript <script src="whatever"> the Javascript source is not exposed. That's the only way I know to hide details in a HTML file. I'm not actually sure how that would work myself, but it would be only way I can think to do it. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY USA. -- Custom Software ~ Technical Services. -- Tel +1 716 737-3463 -- http://www.husted.com/struts/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15780.html > > "The <html:base/> tag will let you use relative paths to your images" > > This approach works, but it makes an application structure visible through > html base attribute, so anybody could see what is under the WEN-INF (can't > access, but still can see the gusts)... > > Is there way to completely encapsulate jsp pages? > > Respectfully, > Alex Greysukh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
