[opencms-dev] why the long servlet path, how to change

[James Higginbotham]

If that is the case, the code needs to be changed to use the appropriate
servlet APIs to get the current servlet context, rather than hardcoding
the prefix. The servlet API was written to prevent this kind of
hardcoding within either props files or JSPs/servlets.

I'm not sure if this will take care of all of the problems, but you can 
try setting "url_prefix_http" in opencms.properties to match the new 
servlet path.  I would be interested to know if you get it working.
