Hi
I'm designing a new web application and I have stored my files in the
D:\Tests\Web\HeaderTest directory and I have defined the following Context in the
server.xml:
<Context
path="/headertest"
docBase="D:\Tests\Web\HeaderTest"
debug="0"
privileged="true"
/>
I suppose this tells the Tomcat that the root directory for my webapp is
D:\Tests\Web\HeaderTest or http://localhost:8080/headertest.
But if I define a link in a page in my webapp such as:
<a href="/home.jsp">Link </a>
it refers to a wrong document: http://localhost:8080/home.jsp which is unavailable.
Does anybody know what's wrong with this?
Also another problem is that when I include a file using the include action or even
the include directive the links defined in the included document changes so they don't
refer to their original destinations anymore. For example, I want a header.html to be
included in all the pages throughout my web site but if I include the header.html in
subdirectories of my web app, the links get broken.
I have tried lots of guesses and I have read some parts of JSP 1.2 Spec that are about
includes and ... but I have not found the answer.
All helps are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
