Possible? Unfortunately, path mapping isn't currently supported for sub-apps, only extension mapping. By the way, a good reference for the multi-app stuff is Craig's follow-up to his original checkin message: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04354.html > > > By the way, I left out the Tiles configuration, since I'm not > > sufficiently familiar with it, especially in a multi-app environment. > > Fortunately, I added subapp prefixes to my tiles definitions, so I > found I could do this: > > <web-app> > <servlet> > ... > <init-param> > <param-name>definitions-config</param-name> > <param-value> > /docroot/subapp1/tile-defs.xml, > /docroot/subapp2/tile-defs.xml > </param-value> > </init-param> > > As you'll note, we would like to put the subapps at the leaves of > the tree, rather than at the root.

The default is for them to be prefixed with the sub-app name. To do that, add the 'contextRelative' attribute to your forwards like this: <forward ... contextRelative="true" ... /> As an aside, you may want to consider putting your JSP files underneath WEB-INF. Files under this directory cannot be served up to the client by the container (per the servlet spec), so doing this prevents the user from directly accessing a JSP page by typing in the corresponding URL. As a result, you don't have to worry about checking for logged in users or appropriate prior setup for the page in the JSP page itself. -- Martin Cooper > > > -- > Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD > Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and mh-e.
