Accessing Base Document Directory from JSP

[Jeff Trent]

I would like to use absolute URLs to get to another 
page in my app. However, I don't want to burn in 'MyApp'. Instead, I 
would like to dynamically get the name that was assigned via the sysadmin. 
How can I do this from within a JSP?

Thanks,
Jeff

application.getContextPath() returns the path to the current context

HttpServletRequest.getContextPath() do you mean?  If so, this returns the
path to get to the current servlet.  This is not what I want.  I want to get
the base context.  So for example, if I deploy a solution to the path
'custref' and I am within the servlet custref/admin/tools/whatever, I would
like to find the way to get simply custref back, not
custref/admin/tools/whatever.  I realize I can write my own function to do
this easily but I'd rather use something already built.

thanks,
jeff

It returns only /custref string.

Hi,

I don't know, if that helps you, but, I get the name in JavaScript. The
function

window.location.pathname;

gives you the local part of the url, so Myapp/myfile you can then easily
put this together with your absolute part of the url.
