Struts2: Referring to resources (images, stylesheets, ...)

Hallo,

On a jsp page booksearchresult.jsp I have added a link to a stylesheet in the html-header:

<link href="css/intrabib.css" ...

This jsp page is sometimes displayed as the "result" of a struts action (case A):

<action name="boekzoekerresultaten" class="bookSearch">
  <result name="success">
     <param name="location">/apps/intrabib/booksearchresult.jsp</param>
  </result>

  ...
</action>

sometimes as the result of a link (case B):

http://localhost:8080/intrabib/apps/intrabib/booksearchresult.jsp?...

The css folder is in the folder where the jsp pages are.

The way the stylesheet is referred above, it only works in case B. I can change the stylesheet reference so that it works for case A, but then it doesn't work for case B anymore.

I'm having similar problems with image references.

The question is how I have to refer in a Struts2 environment to resources on a jsp page so that they are found whether this page that is the result of a Struts2 action or the result of a direct link.

Thank you,

Guy Thomas

Use the <s:url> tag to generate the URL to the css file, this will
ensure it has the correct context.

Like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<s:url
value='/css/intrabib.css' />" />

This will generate the correct path even if you deploy your app in a
context other then root.

It would make sense to use absolute links rather than relative ones. Your
CSS folder you shoudl put on your root and always link to it with
"/css/blah.css" and the same with images then you wont get into directory
problems.

You should not call your page from a link but always go through an action.
It is more secure and also it would solve your problem.

Nevertheless, one solution is to use the <s:url> tag.
