Good to hear. One of the more common/recommended things to do in
webapps is to generate server relative paths to resources so context and
server names can change dynamically. One way to do this with EL
expressions in jsps is:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/webapp/relpath_to/resources.js">
</script>
or in your case:
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new
SWFObject('${pageContext.request.contextPath}/swf_resource_path/mediaplayer.swf','jstest','400','220','8');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addVariable('width','400');
so.addVariable('height','220');
so.addVariable('file','http://content.longtailvideo.com/videos/flvplayer.flv');
so.addVariable('javascriptid','jstest');
so.addVariable('enablejs','true');
so.write('container');
</script>
It's rock solid stable even through forwarding.
