[Opensource] installing expresso in a subdirectory of the context

[Mike Traum]

Here's my directory structure:
www.domain.org/ is the webapp (root context)
www.domain.org/network contains the 'expresso' directory and should be the
path for all of the controllers mappings (like
www.domain.org/network/Login.do)

The problem is that the jsps for DBMaint and most of the admin stuff just
references absolute paths, such as /DBMaint.do which translates into
www.domain.org/DBMaint.do, not www.domain.org/network/DBMaint.do .

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?

definitions). 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.
