Can you get the webapp context path from the javax.servlet API?

[Michael Taylor <mt...@emeraldcave.net>]

I had some really big problems with the implementation of jsp:include failing
from a JSP to a servlet, so I wrote my own include tag.

I need to know if there is a way to get the context path from without creating
a dependency on tomcat.  If my web-app context is /foo and I want to convert a
URL relative to the current context back into an external URL with the full
syntax, then I have to make the following call at this point:

((org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletContextFacade)pageContext.getServletContext()).getRealContext().getPath();

I also think I ocould do it with 

((org.apache.tomcat.core.HttpServletRequestFacade)RequestpageContext.getRequest()).getRealRequest().getContext().getPath();

It seems to me that this is a simple enough thing to get the /foo portion of
the path back out of the Servlet engine, but I can't find this anywhere.

Thanks for the help,

Please forgive me.  I have no idea how I missed that Craig.  I must be
tired from working too hard.

Cheers,

Mike

Is something wrong with request.getContextPath() for this?  It's part of the standard servlet 2.2 API.
