I've got a system with a large number of JSPs that I'm developing using Tomcat 3.2 and Struts 1.0 (12/4 nightly build). Because of the large number of files, I've started organizing the them in subdirectories. This has caused me to run into a problem, however. There doesn't appear to be any way to cause the URL in a <form:form> tag's "action" parameter to be rewritten using the webapp's context path. As a result, if I use an action="x", it directs the action to x in the current directory, which in my case isn't what I want. If I use an action="/x", it directs the action to the x in the web server's root directory - not the root of my webapp context, which is what I want.

I tried embedding <form:rewrite page="x"> inside the action= of the <form:form>, but predictably that does not make jasper happy at all: "Attribute has no value" - note the empty attribute name in the message.

Does anyone have ideas on how to make this fly, or do I simply have to go back to a flat directory structure?
