If you're just trying to get the context path, you can just use
${pageContext.request.contextPath}. That way you can just write:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/myStyles.css" />
If you're using Freemarker, its even easier, just use ${base} like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${base}/css/myStyles.css" />
You can't just specify "css/myStyles.css" as the value of the href tag as
that will be interpreted as a relative path. Actually, you could even do
that, just make sure all your actions are only one level deep (can't use
/user/blah.action etc.)
If you find a better way, do post the solution. I'm curious.
