That is what struts does for you already. You do not need to do anything. Suppose you do your development in context /app. While you develop all of your actions will be rendered like /apps/action.do Now suppose you want to deploy your application, you give it to administrator and he/she deploys it in some context. Suppose that context is / all of your actions will be rendered like /action.do. Sure if he/she deploys the app in context /apps1 all of your actions will be rendered as /apps1/action.do
This basically has very little to do with struts rather with how servlets/JSP apps get deployed. Struts just makes the fact that you can move your app around transparent to you as a developer or to your admin, given you use the struts tags. > -----Original Message----- > From: java-dude [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 10:09 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Changing application path > > The business requires to put their own URL on the application such > as :- > > www.somecompany.com/example > > 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. > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Alex Shneyderman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > The way container works is to deploy an application to its own > content. > > The way your container knows which application a user request > refers to > > is by looking at the prefix of the request.
