Why must the ID begin with /

[bvdberg]

I have a system with a frontend and a backend, which I separate by two different folders under the view folder, namely

view/frontend
view/admin

Because I have to include the / sign as first character in a s:link I cannot use relative paths.
For example I cannot use:

<s:link view="login.xhtml" value="Login"/>

but must use

<s:link view="/Admin/login.xhtml" value="Login"/>

This will be a problem when we want to change Admin into something else.

Any insight would be helpfull.

login.xhtml isn't a valid view id in JSF. /Admin/login.xhtml is.

You can use EL here

<s:link view="#{basePath}/login.xhtml" />
