Troy: That's because the last path your browser *saw* was /do/xxxx. It doesn't see the forward (that happens in the server) so it's trying to load all the page relative URI's from the last URL it knows about. You should be able to fix this with a <html:base> your page (in the <head> section).

I couldn't find anything in the archives regarding this issue, so here it goes. I have a jsp page that is located at <context path>/signature.jsp, and it loads resources (images and CSS sheets) from <context path>/img and <context path>/common respectively. I have an ActionForm, SignatureForm, and an Action, SignatureAction, that uses the ActionForm. My <action> tag is as follows: <action attribute="signatureForm" name="signatureForm" path="/sign" type="gov.doe.eia.pms.action.SignatureAction" input="/signature.jsp" validate="true"> <forward name="success" path="/selectEmployee.jsp" redirect="true" /> </action> I am using the /do/* mapping for the ActionServlet When the SignatureForm is validated, it correctly determines that something is invalid, or otherwise incorrect. It appears that the request is then forwarded to the input page. BUT, as a result, the URIs for all the resources (e.g. "img/save.gif") are now <context path>/do/img/save.gif. Obviously this breaks. I've looked in the ServicesServlet.java, where it appears that the ActionForm.validate(...) method is called. Here's the code snippet of interest: <snippet> 283: RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(uri); 284: if (rd == null) { 285: response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, 286: internal.getMessage("requestDispatcher", 287: uri)); 288: return (false); 289: } 290: rd.forward(request, response); </snippet> The question is, am *I* doing something wrong as to how I am handling the errors, or is there a better way to do what I am trying to do, or is this just plain broken? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
