I don't understand this "virtual paths" thing -- I think it's me, I haven't understood a bloody thing all day ;) -- but read on. : right now a href="/links/index.jsp" goes to http://localhost:8080, i As it should. : want it to go to http://localhost:8080/j606/links/index.jsp. JSP's : are my main concern, just trying to get to a good starting point to : learn! A few things: 1/ look into the JSTL "<c:url />" tag, it's meant to create context-relative links just for this purpose. It's either that, or hard-code "/j606" in all of your pages, which you already seem to know is a bad idea. 2/ Spend some time reading up on servlet technology before you dive in. ("Inside Servlets" is a fantastic reference, though it was written for spec 2.3.) Get to know terminology such as "context" and understand what roles are played by the different actors (container vs webapp, etc) -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
