How do I access the Context Path of the Web App?

sjmenden Sep 1, 2006 1:23 PM

I am using facelets, seam, ect..

In my previous projects, I always avoided hard coded cotext paths with jstl:

<c:url value="/images/myimage.png"/>

How can I duplicate this in jsf/facelets?

I just found this:

#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}

Is there any other way?

Use the #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath} to set the base url like this:

<base href="http://localhost:8080#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/"

The only thing wrong in this example is the http://localhost:8080. This also should come from a variable. I haven't looked into that yet.

With the base tag in you head of the application you only have to refer to your images on a relative way:

<link href="include/css/screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
