[Opensource] installing expresso in a subdirectory of the context

[larry hamel]

expresso seems to work for me as a "subdirectory" already, so maybe I don't understand your goal.  in the directory structure

<container>
  webapss
    <yourApp>
      your.jsp
        expresso

all of the GUI for expresso is in a subdirectory.  the file "your.jsp" is the GUI under your control.  of course, you'll want the web.xml to point to your welcome page, not to the expresso welcome page.

can you help me understand what your goal is?

Until now, I've been using ConfigManager.getMapping on the class name of the action in order to get its mapping. Being that the class name could change as easily as the path, now I'm wondering if this is the way to go, or if we should just have a new ConfigManager property.
