Excellent framing information. What's the question? What do you mean by "get in there?"

I'm tying to work out if a reasonable first observation is "if you want to get to

, I wouldn't start from `y`".

So you are on a URL which is formed of three parts basically...

commonPart

baseAdminPart

and

requestSpecificAdminPart

. Only

baseAdminPart

and

jsPart

are known (

/project1/admin

and

/js

respectively), the others need to be inferred from the whole URL. And from that you want to derive a URL made from

commonPart

jsPart

Are you sure you don't know the scheme, host and port (

<http://localhost:9001>

)? Those are all always (?) available in various CGI variables. Do you know even know

website1

? This value doesn't exist anywhere other than in the current URL you need to fetch from the PageContext?

Even if

website1

isn't in some

websiteName

variable or something, is it not simply the first segment of

CGI.script_name
