Tomcat上下文路径问题

Question

I deployed application in tomcat under webapps/testing1 folder.

http://localhost:8080/testing1/index.html

This html page has anchor tag with href as "/login"

When I click on anchor, it takes to localhost:8080/login instead of localhost:8080/testing1/login

I did not do any change in tomcat conf xmls. How can I make all paths starts with slash would goto application context?

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

By declaring a link href="/login" you make that an absolute link on your host. If you want login inside your app you'd have to prepend the context path ( request.getContextPath () ) or use relative links ( href="login" )

Answer 2

If you deployed context successfully in Tomcat and it is Start up successfully. Then the Application access directly the web.xml from the WEB-INF folder.

It access the servlet using the <url-pattern> and <servlet-class> to identify the servlet.

If you are worrying about accessing HTML files from the servlet you can access them directly from the context path.

ie

if file present at CONTEXT/html/file1.html you can access it as html/file1.html

if file present at CONTEXT/file2.html you can access it as file2.html

Answer 3

You have to specify the . prefix to the href value.

<a href="./login"> so that the URL will be localhost:8080/testing1/login
