An alternative to request.getContextPath(),if not working in liferay DXP

Hello Folks,

In order to to achieve the context path(relative path of a liferay portlet) we have been using a method called public String getContextPath().

Ex. we want to include an image , css or js file in a jsp .We write something as following:

<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/js/mobileCompatibility.js"></script>

<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/css/main.css"></script>

We are not able to achieve this sometimes, the issue is still unknown since this works for some version of Liferay 7.2 fix packs while not in the latest ones.

So the alternate solution which can be used as a fix is :

<%@ taglib uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core' prefix='c'%>

<c:set var="ctx" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}" /> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${ctx}/css/main.css" />
