REPORT #80 Details.

Project: Tomcat
Category: Bug Report
SubCategory: New Bug Report
Class: swbug
State: received
Priority: high
Severity: critical
Confidence: public
Environment: 
   Release: Tomcat4.0
   JVM Release: all

   Platform: all

Synopsis: 
Relative path is always taken from the server root?

Description:
Hi:
  If we have any index.html under some Context root( eg.JSP11ActPosTests ) and have relative links like test1.jsp
they are expanded as 
  http://servername:port/test1.jsp

instead of
  http://<servername>:<port>/<ContextRoot>/test1.jsp

Similary if we have a HTML form in the html page under some context root and mention relative path to another JSP in the same application it won't work unless we mention the /<contextroot>/<jsppage> , which will force us to fix the context root. this will cause problem even when we try to integrate Tomcat code into J2EE where we can dynamically decide the Conext Root. Tomcat 3.X works fine by using contextpath when we just give relative path. 

Thanks
