It's not silly if that's what you want.
Some frameworks provide either JSP taglibs or some other mechanism for
essentially allowing the framework to do that work for you. For
instance, I use struts and velocity as my framework and content
generation tools. The velocity-tools project includes "tools" that allow
me to get velocity to work very well with both the servlet container and
struts. For instance, many of my links look like this:
<a href="$link.setRelative('/relative/path/foo.do')">blah blah</a>
The "link" tool knows that it should always put the context path of the
currently executing webapp before the relative URI that I gave it. Of
course, it has all kinds of other nice things that interact with struts,
too, like being able to use named URIs instead of explicit ones, so I
can change them in a single place and not have to go changing every file
that references it.
That was a long way out of the way, but I figured it was worth
mentioning. I'm not saying that you should switch to struts or anything
like that. I'm just saying that this is the way the servlet world works,
and that many frameworks provide tools for getting around the
"silliness" you describe.
