Question

I have a jsp with the following (relevant) setup:

<s:url value="/res" var="res_url" />

<link href="${res_url}/less/bootstrap.less" rel="stylesheet/less">
<link href="${res_url}/less/responsive.less" rel="stylesheet/less">
...

Ive noticed a problem with using this technique, in that on the first page load of a new session my res_url variable will have ";jsessionid=xxxxxxxxx" appended. In this case that means the id appears in the middle of my stylesheet URL and therefore the stylesheets are not loaded.

I realize that I’m probably not using the URL tag in the way its intended, and that you can include param tags inside the URL tag to get around this, but I don’t like the idea of it and think the way i did it was much cleaner. Is it possible to somehow tell it to ignore the jsessionid? Or is there any other way of doing this?

The right way to do it is

<link href="<s:url value="/res/less/bootstrap.less"/>" rel="stylesheet/less">
<link href="<s:url value="/res/less/responsive.less"/>" rel="stylesheet/less">

I don’t see what any simpler way to do it.
