Re: Changing application path

[Jeff Kyser]

I know you can map the 'default' context  ( '/' ) to a particular
context in Tomcat, as we did that on an app I worked on.
Hence, we could access the app as:
http://www.somecompany.com/

and

http://www.somecompany.com/OrderEntry

NOT as is currently happening :-

www.somecompany.com/app/example

where the app part of the URL is coming from app.war used to deploy
the app.
If I can tweak the config of the application so the form action path
becomes "/example" instead of "/app/example", as currently,  then it
should be possible for the system administrator to remap the
application to www.someapp.com/example
This must be already being done in numerous companies but I don't
know how we can achieve this at the moment.

The way your container knows which application a user request

is by looking at the prefix of the request. So unless you mount
your
application onto the ROOT content (prefix "/") I can not imagine
what
you are asking for is possible. But then again if some dude will
come
along and remount your app to some /app content ... Suppose you
develop
an app called app1 and have example.do action there. How would you
differentiate between /app/example.do and /app1/example.do?

Subject: Changing application path
Hi,

I need to change the base path of my struts application so that
there is no prefix on the form actions.
For example if my application is deployed in the application
server
as app.war and I view the source for a jsp with a form on it, say
example.jsp, in internet explorer, I see that the form has an
action
tag as follows :-

	action="/app/example.do"

This is happening even though the jsp is actually coded with
action
tag as follows :-

	action="example"

Basically I would like the generated source for this page to be
without the base of the path as follows :-
	action="/example.do"

I am guessing it may require manipulation of the web.xml and/or
struts-config.xml files but I am not sure, and if so how ?
