This is working for me, even when I forward to a servlet in a different
directory. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Perhaps this ought to be added to SitePage.
def siteRoot(self):
"""
Returns the URL path components necessary to get back
home from the current location. Works even if you have
forwarded from one servlet to another.
"""
req = self.request()
url = req.pathInfo()
contextName = req.contextName() + '/'
if url.startswith(contextName):
url = url[len(contextName):]
numStepsBackward = len(url.split('/')) - 1
return '../' * numStepsBackward
