Re: how to prepend an alias to URL?

I developed my struts app on BEA where I had a URL like this: 
http://host.com:7001/myApp/index.do
In our production environment, we're using an Apache front end, so the BEA stuff has 
been aliased to something like this: http://host.com/BEA/myApp/index.do
Going to that first page works fine, but when I click on a link the "/BEA" gets cut 
out of the URL and it goes to: http://host.com/myApp/page2.do
In all my pages I use a link like this: <html:link action="/page2" >asdf</html:link>
Is suing the "forwardPattern" in my struts-config <controller> the correct way to fix this?? if so, how do I do it?
 

I doubt the "forwardPattern" attribute has much money, even if you win 
your suit :-).

Actually, I would look first to how the Apache->BEA linkage is set up 
... what you really want to do is convince the servlet container that 
the context path for your application is "/BEA/myApp" instead of 
"/myApp" so that paths are calculated correctly.  Otherwise, the 
following requirement from the servlet specification:

 requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo
will be violated, and this is an assumption that *lots* of servlet-based 
technologies rely on, not just Struts.

Thanks so much
