I had the same problem with images. It seemed to work some times and not
others, depending on the previous page path. I ended up using absolute paths
or ../../ . I get an empty string when I use <h:outputText
value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}"/> anywhere, how
come?> Subject: Getting the ContextPath to set stylesheet href properly > > > Hi guys, > > Having some real problems with paths in my Faces app for some reason! > > I am using Oracle App Server 10g 10.1.2 with MyFaces 1.1.0, JSP 1.2 & > Web-app 2.3.
