I can't visualise what the final URL looks like in the browser in your
situation with the webserver in-between.
Try using the <html:base> tag.

Thanks. The problem is that we can't use absolute path (leading "/")
because we are forwarding the request from webserver to app server.
So even we move them into common, we still have to use relative path
to point to them.

Scott,
try placing the shared javascript in a 'common' module and refer to
it using a leading slash src="/common/js/base"

A new requirement for our webapp is to use a webserver to forward
requests
to the real app server. So someone may request a url like:
http://ws/abc/APPand we configure it to forward to
http://as:port/APP. We have many places using absolute path for
images
and
hrefs, e.g. any places request.getContextPath() or some of struts
html
tags
are used. When this goes back to client, the webserver would try
to
append
it its root when it sees an absolute path
(http://ws/APP/images/xxx.jpgfor example) which would be wrong.
Most of them can be fixed by change to
use
relative path instead. We also use a sub-module. When we say
http://ws/abc/APP/module/xxx.do, it forwards to
http://as:port/APP/module/xxx.do, then it found the mapping to
its jsp,
so
far so good, the problem is that in that jsp, we have something
like
this:
<script language="Javascript" src="<%=request.getContextPath
()%>/js/baseModuleFunctions.jsp"></script> <script
language="Javascript" src="js/moduleFunctions.jsp"></script>
If we eliminate the getContextPath() part, it will not be able to
tell
which
is from the base module and which is from its module. I guess the
fundamental problem is that we used to use getContextPath() to
refer to stuff in the base module from the submodule. And what
can we do now to accomplish that?
I did found one (possible) solution, is to change all module
action urls
to
this format: switch.do?prefix=/module&page=/xxx.do
Basically all actions will be treated to come from the base
module. Then
we
change the above code to this: <script language="Javascript"
src="js/baseModuleFunctions.jsp"></script> <script
language="Javascript"
src="module/js/moduleFunctions.jsp"></script>
But this requires some substantial changes. And I don't know the
performanceication for this also.
