Absolute paths

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports absolute paths in JSP files.

Absolute paths are prohibited in JSP, because they won't be resolved if your application context is not empty.

The quick-fix adds a dynamic prefix to your path.

Example:

<%@page contentType="text/html; ISO-8859-1" %>

<a href="/hey.jsp">hey</a>

After the quick-fix is applied:

<%@page contentType="text/html; ISO-8859-1" %>

<a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/hey.jsp">hey</a>
