Link Tools do not work properly with ROOT context

           Summary: Link Tools do not work properly with ROOT context
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: All
               URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/struts/SecureLi
                    nkTool.html
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Tools
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: laurent.dauvilaire@laposte.net


When you install a webapp as ROOT, then the context-path is "/" and 
not "/myapp" as for standard webapps.

The link tools (LinkTool, StrutsLinkTool and SecureLinkTool) return bad 
references when the webapp is installed as ROOT.

Example:
   $link.setRelative("templates/index.vm")
      returns "//templates/index.vm"
      when it sould return "/templates/index.vm"

The Code (LinkTool.java line 320)
   "request.getContextPath() + '/' + uri"
   is correct only when the Context Path is something like "/myapp".
When the Context Path is "/" another '/" should not be added before the URI.
