Context Root for Image Button src attribute
I am trying to write an image button of the form:
<s:submit type="image" src="context-root/images/search1.gif" name="search"/>
where context-root is the configured context root of my web application. Can
anyone suggest a good way to dynamically populate the context root?
I am assuming that the src string is being interpreted via OGNL but I can't
figure out an appropriate expression to use to extract the context root from
the request.

I agree it's strange it's not readily available in the valuestack. I
avoid using it in struts tags myself.
eg.
I'd use <input type="submit"
src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/save.gif">
You're not obliged to use struts tags.
An alternative approach is to put it into scope using JSP and the get it
out in the struts tag.
eg.
<% pageContext.setAttribute("contextPath", request.getContextPath());%>
<s:submit type="image" src="%{#attr.contextPath}/images/save.gif" />
I don't do that because its prone to errors whereas the former approach
is understood by all IDEs.
If you wanted to get clever you could place it into the context using an
interceptor (although the framework should do it, but doesn't).

Getting the context path in jsp is something struts doesn't really
support--something I've had trouble with many times. One way to get around
the problem is scriptlet like Jim showed you. Recently, we used url tag for
the same purpose:
<s:url id="saveImg" value="/images/save.gif" />
<s:submit type="image" src="%{saveImg}" />

I did something like src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/header.gif"
