hi guys, i am developing a webapp called LearningPlatform, i have written some
secure actions in struts2 for the login section, placed them in a package with
namespace="secure" , and now static contents like images and .css files that
invoke images get served relative to "secure" like /secure/images/Header.jpg,
although the "images" folder is placed in app's context root.(LPlatform/images)
The error i get from Tomcat is HTTP Status 404:
"The requested resource (/LPlatform/secure/images/Header.jpg) is not
available."
I tried rewriting the urls inside the jsp's as absolute paths, like
/images/Header.jpg , but then i get:
"HTTP Status 404 The requested resource (/images/Header.jpg) is not available."
The images are served ok when using actions in the root ("/") namespace.
One fix i found is to set the Context's path in server.xml to blank so that
both absolute and relative image paths get served directly from localhost:8080,
but that's not a feasible solution (in case i have more than one app).
The other fix was to use <s:url value="/images/Header.jpg>" like tags, in
order to generate the absolute path to the image(the rendered result includes
/LPlatform/), but this one seems tedious.
I wanted to know if there isn't some way to get absolute paths like
"/images/Header.jpg" in jsps served relative to the context root of the app (in
my case LPlatform) ?
I've been struggling for a few days with this now, so i appreciate any help.
Thx a lot.
