Can you change the contextPaths on your dev, int, and stg servers? (dev) http://devserver.com/Application (int) http://intserver.com/Application (stg) http://stgserver.com/Application (prod) http://prodserver.com/Application (no directory)
I haven't followed this thread all that closely, but it has been my experience that lots of things break when the "content path" (in quotes since httpd doesn't know about contextPaths) doesn't match between the web server and app server. I think there is a good chance that this would fix your problem, and it should be relatively easy to at least test it out. It may be easier to solve whatever issues these new context paths cause than it is to fix (or forever tip-toe around, with mysterious breakages just when you don't need them) the mis-matched "context paths". -Max On Thu, 2006-02-02 at 16:55 -0800, Michael Jouravlev wrote: > AFAIK, <html:base> tag won't help you, it affects only <html:link > href="..."> tags.
