context path in the message.properties of struts

[az ziz]

i use images in the jsp using the html:image tag with the srcKey="imageurl", the value of the key contains the image resource location. how to include the context path in the resource than using like this, ../../images/image1.gif?

[az ziz]

please note this,
`<img src=<bean:message arg0="<%=request.getContextPath()%>" key="image1"/>>` works. but i cant change in 100s of jsp files which uses html:image.

thanks

hi az ziz

create a folder named images under web content and add all the images to the images folder.
now you can use like this

<img src="images/spacer.gif" width="10" height="10">

Thanks

yes, all the images are in images folder only. but the problem is with the relative path the old developers has given, ../../images now the context path is changing, so as the request uri changes the images in the jsp and their paths changes

if
my_project/transaction/a.jsp was the request
../images/img1.jpg will work
if the same was changed to my_project/a.jsp
../images/img1.jpg wont work

said above,
../images/img1.jpg will work were mapped in the message properties file of struts.
how to append the context path with the path than ../../

Use an absolute path.
