Context-relative redirects duplicate context-root in URL (in WAS)

           Summary: Context-relative redirects duplicate context-root in URL
                    (in WAS)
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: anders.wisch@kp.org


I'm using WSAD 5.1, WAS 4.0.6 Test Server.

The context-root of my web application as defined in my EAR's deployment
descriptor is "my_app". To test my application, I navigate to:

http://localhost:8080/my_app/

I've got the following global forward in the struts-config.xml for moduleA:

<forward name="my_forward" redirect="true" contextRelative="true" 
path="/moduleB/action.do">
</forward>

When my action in moduleA returns the ActionForward defined as "my_forward",
the browser is redirected to:

http://localhost:8080/my_app/my_app/moduleB/action.do

Since the global forward is a redirect and context relative, the forward
path ("/moduleB/action.do") remains unmolested until it reaches this bit
of Struts code in
RequestProcessor.processForwardConfig(HttpServletRequest request,
                                      HttpServletResponse response,
                                      ForwardConfig forward):

if (forward.getRedirect()) {
    // only prepend context path for relative uri
    if (uri.startsWith("/")) {
        uri = request.getContextPath() + uri;
    }
    response.sendRedirect(response.encodeRedirectURL(uri));        

}

The URI passed in to response.encodeRedirectURL is "/my_app/moduleB/action.do"
since we've prepended the original forward path with the context path. The 
problem
seems to be that response.encodeRedirectURL prepends the URI with not only the
scheme, server, port, etc., but also with same context path.
