Re: Resin and strange link problems.

Howdy all,

Scott. I agree that stefan could have looked at his problem from more
angles. But y'know what? So should every one else who tried to help him
out - there were suggestions about case-sensitivity, IIS, and more. We all
make mistakes. (I am making one here by using up space concerning a thread
that uses up too much space). Given the drastic changes that can occur
between browsers, Resin releases, OSes, and patches its easy to look to
external causes when code that worked stops working, it's never mea culpa
right? Easy questions sometimes have hard answers, hard questions have
easy answers.

Neh.

Oooh! Ahhh! That's how it always starts.
Then later there's running and screaming.

Look.  At some point you need to stop think about what's going on.
Your test example was the following:
   ...
Unless you're using XML/XSL, that <a href="../logOut.jsp"> is just raw
text.  Resin prints it out just like any other raw text.
In other words, your link cannot possibly be a Resin bug (unless you're
using XML/XSL.)
Now, instead of trying to figure out what's going wrong, you're
plastering dozens of messages to this list without thinking.
There are about 1,000 people who have to read all this junk about your
problem that seems to be a problem with your own application.
Yes, Resin does have bugs and there are appropriate questions, but
saying that Resin isn't handling "<a href='../logOut.jsp'>" just
demonstrates that you have no idea what you're doing.
Sorry to be blunt, but this list gets a lot of traffic and there are a
lot of people reading it and it's just not right for one person to
dominate it.
