Thanks Erik. I guess when you get into the tags mood, you forget there's
something called scriptlets :)

How about:

Erik,
The problem may be that you are using JSP Tags, which are commonly
written to only output links to resources within your context. You may
want to simply think of writing plain old and tags and do it
yourself.

Can't you embed a ServletContext attribute (variable) in your links
using the EL? The attribute value could come from an init param and get
set at app startup.

Hi everyone,
I still can not find an answer to my question, so I thought I'd repost
this and try to make it clearer. I really apreciate any help.
How can I refer to resources that are outside my module in a way that
will not mandate rewriting all the URLs in case I change the location
of
my module in the hierarchy?
My URL would look like
http://server/my-application/my-module/doSomething.do
And inside the JSP I need to refer to an image inside a folder
"images",
for example, the absolute URL should be
http://server/my-application/images/some-image.gif
For that purpose, I can not always use the tag, cause some
of
the images are background images.
I thought about the tag, but
I can not use the page attribute, cause it's only limited to resources
inside the module.
I can not use the href attribute, because I do not want to hardcode the
application name.
I can not use the forward attribute because I do not want to specify a
forward for every image.
Even for the images that are simple images and I can use the
tag, I can not use the pageKey attribute, also because it's module
relative and also because then I would need to all the images in the
ApplicationResources.properties file.
Thanks,
Tarek Nabil

RE: REPOST: Relative URLs
Hi David, I'm afraid I don't understand your solution. I'm using Struts 1.1, but I don't know what you mean by contextRelative="false". It doesn't seem to be an attribute on the img or image tags. Also, I need a solution that will work with plain old html tags as well, not just with Struts html tags, since as I mentioned, some of the images are background images and I can not use html:img with that. Could you please explain further. Thanks -Original Message- From: David G.

Dear Tarek, Action example URL: http://server/my-application/my-module/doSomething.do Resulting JSP's image example UR: http://server/my-application/images/some-image.gif What happens when you use html:img with (depending on your version of Struts): a) contextRelative="false"[for 1.1 or earlier] b) module=""[for 1.2 or newer] Then add your src="/images/some-image.gif".
