Hi! I am using tomcat 6.0.13 on linux. I try to deploy my application in to the root context. I.e. it should be available as root application on one of virtual host (http://vhost1/). So, I add <Context ... path="/" /> into the server.xml (I know, it is not recommended to do it in server.xml, but it is simple and I just want to do simple testing right now). The application works fine. But there is a problem with request.getContextPath() method. My Servlets use RequestDispatcher.forward() to JSP. And then, JSP use Request.getContextPath() to generate URLs (more precisely, getContextPath() used by JSTL`s <c:url ..> implementation). But getContextPath() returns "/", so urls generated by <c:url> looks like "//image/blah.gif" - i.e. they have double leading slashes. As result - browser can`t process urls correctly. As I understand specification, getContextPath() should returns empty string in such case... (And JSTL`s implementation of <c:url> expects such behavior).
If I deploy application under "ordinal" context path, all works correctly (getContextPath() returns string like "/myapp"). If my Servlet use RD.include() instead of forward(), all works fine: getContextPath() returns empty string. Could somebody help me with solution. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Request.getContextPath%28%29-after-RequestDispatcher.forward%28%29-tp15808317p15808317.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
