Spring security: using relative path

I have an application with name test.war.

Because of Apache installed on my server I have to use another port number for Tomcat applications so after deployment this application available at domain.com:8080/test/.

I decided to create a subdomain in order to remove that ugly 8080 from url, so I setted up the server like described here. So now test.domain.com reffers to domain.com:8080/test/.

Everything seems fine except of one problem - because my application is not ROOT.war and I am using spring:url function every url in the application is translated to /test/bla-bla. So I removed that function. But still have a problem with spring security because it still translates an urls relative to app name i.e. /test/bla-bla.

How can I solve that problem?

Thank you

UPD: I don't want to deploy it as a ROOT application because I have two or three such applications and I wanted to create a subdomain for each one of them

Spring Security doesn't "translate" URLs. In fact this isn't specific to Spring Security. You'll run into similar issues with any application which does redirects. If you want to hide the context paths of applications which are behind a proxy, then you need to rewrite the URLs at the proxy.

I'd recommend you read the Tomcat Generic Proxy Howto and the section on URL rewriting in particular, as it specifically addresses this issue.
