RE: web application context switching

["Howard M. Lewis Ship" <hl...@attbi.com>]

In this case, you might want to use the HTML <base> tag.

You could have the Shell component's delegate emit this tag.

Yes, you could find all the link components and explicitly set their
renderer to an absolute renderer, but that's not a great solution, since it
would be hard to verify that you found ALL of them.  Using the <base> tag is
better.

It would not be too hard to extend the Shell component to do this (render a
<base> tag) automatically, triggered by a boolean parameter.  Perhaps you
should look into that and submit a patch? I'm behind on the book and things
are beginning to back up, so I can't check it out myself at this time.

That's a good idea-- I completely forgot about the <base> tag. I'll give it a
shot and let you know how well it works.
