The subject says it all, almost. How do I automatically fix jsp pages so that relative URLs are mapped to the context path instead of the server root? That is, given for example

<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/css/style.css' />

how do I set-up things in a way that maps the css to my-server/my-context/css/style.css instead of my-server/css/style.css? Is there an automatic way of doing that, other than changing all lines like the above to

<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'        href='<%= request.getContextPath() %>/css/style.css' />

  1. Look into the <BASE HREF=''> tag. This is an HTML tag which will mean all links on the page should start with your base URL.

    For example, if you specified <BASE HREF='http://www.example.com/prefix'> and then had <a href='/link/1.html'> then the link should actually take you to /prefix/link/1.html. This should also work on <LINK> (stylesheet) tags.
