[Config] action attribute: contextRelative

[Eddie Bush <ek...@swbell.net>]

I disagree with the perspective that contextRelative="true" on a global 
forward makes it NOT relative to the conext (sub-application context). 
 Am I just thinking of this stupidly?  My guess is that it's saying 
"relative to the application context".  It just seems natural for me, 
placing this declaration into a sub-application configuration, that the 
conext of which it speaks would be that of the sub-application; not the 
application.

... just blowing steam!  I wasted a *lot* of time on that today.

Thanks!

Eddie

It's probably too late to effect a change in this (guessing here), but 
wouldn't it be much cleaner and easier to understand if you had say:

context="application" (relative to the application context)
- or -
context="sub-app" (relative to the sub-application)

... to choose from, in contrast to:

contextRelative="true"  (relative to the application context)
- or -
contextRelative="false" (relative to the sub-application)

To me, the first set is much more intuative.

Regards,

Eddie
