The essence of my question rested specifically on the: %{somethingOrOther}...
On one system where I run my application, the base path is http://www.website.com/ On the other, it is http://localhost:8080/myapp/ <html:base/> took care of that seamlessly. I suppose I could use one given action as base reference: <s:url action="home" />, but that particular example would force me to rewrite all the relative references (because the home action's base path is one hierarchical degree removed from the current base path). which is a potential solution, since that would be done once and for all (even though it would be tedious to have to do it). Before I embark on this, though, I would love to get people's advice on the wisest standard for a base path. In particular, something which would be robust with respect to deployment on several Tomcat setups that have different path configurations. 2008/8/12 Musachy Barroso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > yes, that would work, or a lil bit more readable: > > <s:url id="baseUrl "value="%{somethingOrOther}"/> > <base href="${baseUrl}" /> >
