This doesn't work if there are JSPs included in others from various levels in the directory tree.

That will work in a JSP context... it's just that the recommended technique is to use "relative-absolute" (a term I just made-up: a URI starting with a '/') URI to reference everything. With dynamic includes, etc. it's very easy to get relative links all confused and nothing works. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk54tFMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBTdQCeIpr6LNVplO0Nbw07rRevjqud J2wAoL/zIoICL7fx0vinP6AksKFCVBYg =VcjM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
