Printable View
I am trying to figure out how to make the context path of the current request available to the model for Velocity/Freemarker using SpringMVC. I need this to make absolute URLs work when needed. Is there a way to expose this easily to all my views?
Thanks,
Patrick
put the RequestContext into the model by setting the bean property 'requestContextAttribute' on your view (or view resolver for Velocity/FreeMarkerViewResolver). For example, in views.properties or equiv.
then in your template,Code:foo.requestContextAttribute=rc
Regards,Code:${rc.contextPath}
Thanks. I had seen that parameter before and had wondered if that was what I needed to set. Thanks for the clarification. I just tried it and like magic it worked.

Append the jstl/core taglib in your freemarker file and set url as
<@c.url value="<pathof css or js file>"/> @c.url automatic include contexpath.
example:
Code:<#assign c=JspTaglibs["http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"]/>
