The patch that Luke gave uses siteRoot(). siteRoot() is the root of the context, not the root URL which is used to dispatch into Webware. That would be the adapterName(). Therefore, the behavior that Luke's patch provides only works in the current Context. My inclination is to add an optional Context to the includeURL(), callMethodOfServlet(), and forward() methods that would allow specifying this. A Context of None would be interpreted as an absolute reference relative to DOC_ROOT which is what would be used to access external PSP pages. I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if there are any hidden gotchas there. I am currently adding to the Testing context some tests to cover the url issues we have been discussing. -Stuart- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
