RE: tomcat relative path in .jsp

[Shapira, Yoav]

Howdy,
What is the path used for?  Is it a link to another HTML/JSP/servlet, or
is it a destination for uploaded files?

If the former, use a relative link, e.g. ../upload.  If the latter, you
need an absolute path to a directory to which the server user has write
permissions.  You can use javax.servlet.context.tempdir or a directory
you configure via a context-param in web.xml.

tomcat relative path in .jsp

[Steve Harris]

Hi,

I'm managing a tomcat application server that has an application with a
.jsp that has the path hard coded, e.g. ;

/opt/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.6/webapps/els/upload

The path is used to upload files to.  I'd like to recommend to the
developer a change that could be made to make this path relative rather
than absolute  - any ideas ?

Cheers - Steve

You can do this by putting the JSP page itself inside the WEB-INF
directory.  This will make it impossible to access the page directly from
a browser, but still allow you to do a RequestDispatcher.forward() to it.

However, you might prefer a solution that makes your relative paths to
images work under all circumstances.  Check out the  directive in
the HTML specs.

Betreff: Path in JSP


Hello,

when accessing a JSP thru a servlet (forward) the following path
/image/logo.gif is valid. When calling a JSP directly i have to use
../image/logo.gif (image and jsp folder are on the same level).
What can i do to use the same path definition?
How can i prevent users from directly accessing a JSP?

Thanks a lot for any tip
