[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3671) CA for absolute paths

[Alexey Kazakov (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12450064#action_12450064 ] 

Alexey Kazakov commented on JBIDE-3671:
---------------------------------------

'images' is not absolute path.
Absolute path is somthing like 'http://www.somesite.com/images/im.gif"
Anyway, path that starts with "/" is relative to Web-Content (in case of jsf components) but relative path without "/" is relative to request context path.
For example if you go to www.somesite.com/index.jsp (<Web-Content>/index.jsp) but index.jsp forward request to <Web-Content>/someSubFolder/page.jsp then
<h:graphicImage value="images/image.gif"/> will look for image in  <Web-Content>/images/image.gif.
But if you go to www.somesite.com/someSubFolder/page.jsp directly then <h:graphicImage/> will look for image in <Web-Content>/someSubFolder/images/image.gif
So it's not safe to use paths which are relative to request.
It was a reason for us to propose only paths which are relative to Web-Content.

> 1) Create (or import) any project with the same structure (see screenshot-1)
> 2) Insert, for example, h:graphicImage component:
> <h:graphicImage value="(cursor)"/>
> 3) Call CA in a place between double quotes
> RESULT: I have access only to relative paths (/images, /pages) (see screenshot-1), but I want to have access to absolute path (e. g. images), which can I get if I print this folder in a value attribute:
> <h:graphicImage value="images/ "/>
