Re: URL-escape a var with JSTL

Hi,
True, but I'm not using  to construct my URLs, because my URLs are rewritten (mod_rewrite) and don't look like they are in the webapp context.  For example, if I have myapp.war, and URLs are normally under http://example.com/myapp/.... , then yes, c:url would work.  However, my links are rewritten, so I have http://example.com/people, etc....

So I construct URLs like this:
<a href="/something/${foo}">foo</a>

Thanks,
Otis

I think you just need the <c:url> tag.
