Ruth>> I don't think so. They were thinking of this option. The HTML:BASE renders a <base/> tag reference relative to the page request. So if your template is in the app root then the effect is the same. I use templates that are actually in different directories so in order to ensure all relative references are to the root I use the scriplet. Not sure this is a best practice. But I do not need to worry what jsp I am coding on - all references are relative to the root. This simplifies the html and if I reorganize the site there are no links/img changes necessary. It does make IDE rendering harder since they typically do best with relative urls and no base tag.
