Hey KC,
Just checked the 1.0 spec and it doesn't look like it. Also, the other jakarta taglibs
don't seem to support this. It is of course possible to do this yourself using the
c:out tag. What you described can be rewritten to:
<c: out
value="${request.scheme+request.serverName+request.serverPort+request.contextPath}"/><c:url
value="/main.jsp"/>
Granted it isn't a very elegant solution, but if you have some experience in writing
tags yourself you could of course write a tag like this yourself. If you stick to the
design regulations for jakarta taglibs and post it to the taglibs dev list, they'll
probably accept your help with a lot of gratitude:)
Grtz,
Martin
