How do I prepend <%= request.getContextPath() %> to all relative URLs inside a jsp page?
jsp, tomcat, url
Solution
Look into the `<BASE HREF="">` tag. This is an HTML tag which will mean all links on the page should start with your base URL.
For example, if you specified `<BASE HREF="http://www.example.com/prefix">` and then had `<a href="/link/1.html">` then the link should actually take you to /prefix/link/1.html. This should also work on `<LINK>` (stylesheet) tags.
Problem
The subject says it all, almost. How do I automatically fix jsp pages so that relative URLs are mapped to the context path instead of the server root? That is, given for example ``` <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css" /> ``` how do I set-up things in a way that maps the css to `my-server/my-context/css/style.css` instead of `my-server/css/style.css`? Is there an automatic way of doing that, other than changing all lines like the above to ``` <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/css/style.css" /> ```
