How to avoid hardcoding image path in table

[Jacob Thomas <jt...@vitria.com>]

When creating a table row,  is there a way to avoid having to specify the
context name in the path for images as shown below:
           
   <td background="<context-name>/images/table_top_chip.gif" width="30" > 
    </td>

<html:base/> does not seem to be sufficient for this purpose. Also, using
relative path is not preferred for the application since the pages can move
around.

There aren't any Struts tags for writing tables (at least not yet ;-),
but one workaround would be to try a standard JSP expression, like 

background="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/images/table_top_chip.gif%>"
