Martin, thanks for replying. I agree with what you are saying, but my point is that <!--#include virtual="/head.html" --> should work from any subdirectory /Foo or /Foo/Moo or /Foo/Moo/TooFoo because the isVirtualWebappRelative parameter is set to true. Which means the "virtual" path should be interpreted as relative to the context root.
If the current directory is /Foo or /Too/Moo, <!--#include virtual="/head.html" --> should still work. if in /Foo, <!--#include virtual="../head.html" --> this will also work in in /Foo/Moo <!--#include virtual="../../head.html" --> should work too Setting isVirtualWebappRelative to true or false has worked fine for me with previous versions of Tomcat, but not with Tomcat 5.5. This makes migrating sites very difficult. A developer shouldn't be changing the code every time the web server version is upgraded.
