RE: ServletRequest 's path elements not updated by calls to getReq

www.apple.com/ipodmini does a redirect to www.apple.com/ipodmini/, which is
the same behavior you get from a webserver (I believe most of them, but
definitely IIS) when requesting a directory without the trailing slash. (I
seem to recall that Microsoft calls it a "courtesy redirect".)
If you can redirect these requests to the actual location of the page that's
serving the request, your life will get easier when it comes to relative
hrefs/srcs.
Even if you want to hide the location of your JSP, which is not a bad idea,
to live up to what apple does your page only has to work with one URL ...
and the other one gets redirected to the one that works.

Ok, so what was said about using img src="/foo.gif" theoretically seems
true, but in practice it does not work.
And I don't have the ability to mandate a request.getContextPath() for
every
Link on the site.
All I want to do is do what apple does if you go to
www.apple.com/ipodmini or www.apple.com/ipodmini/ you get the same page.
This shouldn't be that hard, but whats the best way to do it?
Should I just start using Apache's mod_rewrite?
Thanks again,
Alan

Howdy,

Yeah, but you don't want to do that because what if the context path
changes? A relative link would be better, and it's good that the
original poster is already trying to do that, e.g. ../foo.gif. Consider
using request.getContextPath() + "/images/foo.gif".
