Answer 1

If your requirement is to fetch the Context Path in your FTL view then Spring provides a better alternate - First import spring.ftl in your view

<#import "/spring.ftl" as spring />

Then use macro @spring.url for the URL which you want to make context aware -

History

This is very much similar to -

History

Where rc is defined in viewResolver

XML based configuration

or Spring Boot style configuration (aplication.yml)

spring.freemarker.request-context-attribute: rc
