Well I have found the answer to the relative URI problem with the
html:img, html:rewrite and html:link tags. Now those are quite useful!
Unfortunately, the O'Reilly Struts book was of no help to me with any of
these matters. If any newbie reads this and wants to get up to speed
quickly, I found this site to be helpful:
http://www.reumann.net/do/struts/main
I may not have ever noticed the html:rewrite tag without it.
Thanks again for your help.

I finally figured it out, thanks to your help.
I was trying to match what the controller servlet was mapped to in my
action parameter to the html:form tag, when in reality, I should have
been doing the opposite. The html:form tag apparently prefixes the
controller path token to whatever action you specify.
So if you use this in web.xml:
<url-pattern>/do/*</url-pattern>
Then you name your action something like "/login". Then you specify
action="/login" as the html:form tag attribute. When the page gets
rendered, the form tag shows this:
<form action="Test/do/login">
which is correct.
The docs need some help on this subject! I was, in ignorance, trying
to make sure "/do" was in the path of my action, when in reality, it
needed to be generated, not placed by me. That was the problem.
Thanks again for your help.
Now of course the new problem is that relative image URIs don't work
when a forward has occurred and the request URI is inconsistent with
what the page expects . . . Any advice on this challenge would again
be appreciated.

okay, before i leave for the day, for path based mapping, you need
something like:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>controller</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/do/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
then all your urls must be like:
localhost/app/do/login
that's how i understand it. you may wanna have look at struts docos
for this parameter.

I assume you mean this part:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>controller</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
The above code works (hooray), but if I try to change the url
pattern to anything more specific (such as /login, or /login*, or
/login/*) I get the wrong action parameter value . . .

struts-config.xml looks fine. I'd suggest you try it with .do
extension first and then try path mapping in web.xml

I have tried mapping the controller servlet to all kinds of path
prefixes including "/login" and "/login/*" and "/". None of them
result in the correct action parameter in the form. I don't want
to use extension mapping. I want to use path mapping. Is this
where the problem is?

Hello Erik,
Is it possible for you to show your struts-config.xml file?

Could someone please tell me what would cause the html:form tag
to ignore the value I specify to the action parameter, and
instead, rewrite the action parameter value to be equal to the
context root of the application?
For example, my web app login page is:
http://localhost:8080/Test/index.jsp
In login.jsp, I have this opening form tag:
<html:form action="/login">
I have a matching action configured in struts-config.xml. But
the struts tag is rendering the form tag like this:
<form name="loginForm" action="/Test">
No matter what I try this does not change. This is extremely
frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
