How to get content path in thymeleaf?

Question

I have a project using springboot 1.5.10, eclipse IDE and Thymeleaf.

In several pages I have redirections like this in jquery:

eg: In a Select Option

$('#month').on('change', function() { window.location = "/dashboard/operation/month/" + month; })

eg: In a Button

$('#bFind').click(function() { var newUrl = "/dashboard/operation/month/"; newUrl += month; $('a').attr('href', newUrl); });

Both redirect works great defined in my Controller.

But the problem is when I create a war project to deploy it in my apache tomcat 9.0.6 I have to give a name to deploy.

and it breaks the stuff...

mywebapp could be another name.

So I have been looking for add context path:

The main info I found is:

But when I add this to may header.html file I get always undefined

<meta name="ctx" th:content="${#httpServletRequest.getContextPath()}" />

Maybe is there is another way to do this and add the context path correctly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I think it is the problem with your clientside, not serverside, setting location with '/' at the beginning always return the server root (localhost:8080/) — cdxf

Maybe try this:

<meta name="ctx" th:content="@{/}" />

If the context is localhost:8080, it will output

<meta name="ctx" content="/" />

But if your context is localhost:8080/mywebapp it will output

<meta name="ctx" content="/mywebapp/" />
