Re: relative path problem

2003-03-12 Thread bobd
That is my problem...how do you get the relative path
(in an action class)?  Could you provide or point me
to some example code?

OR, even an example of using
'ApplicationResources.Properties' to read in a path
value would satisfy me.

thanks

Re: relative path problem

2003-03-12 Thread Steve Parker
Not sure, but perhaps can you get the relative path by calling 
java.lang.system.getProperty('prop_name')

not sure what the identifier for relative path is though..

Re: relative path problem

2003-03-11 Thread Jeff Smith
I find that paths can be stated as absolute, from the root of my web-app.

So, for example, my style sheets are linked as:
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=/myappname/styles/default.css/

This seems to work, but it introduces a secondary problem. What if I change
the name of my app? I suppose I could always put the app-name as a constant
and reference it that way...

I have seen a couple of examples that use ./styles/default.css so I am
assuming that works too. But I haven't actually tried changing my references
yet. That would solve my secondary problem as well as your initial one.

Hope that helps,
Jefficus

RE: relative path problem

2003-03-11 Thread Witbeck, Shane
I generally use one of the following

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=%= request.getContextPath()%/styles/default.css/

or using the Struts html taglib...

link rel=stylesheet type=text/css
href=html:rewrite page='/styles/default.css'//

HTH,

Shane
