setContextPath no longer works with absurl

a change to setContextPath in v3 (3Stable/Final)breaks this<script> setContextPath('${absurl(url.context)}'); </script>‍the context path will get set to "" and Ajax won't work.the workaround I found was to set _alfContextPath directly<script> _alfContextPath = '${absurl(url.context

Thanks for the heads-up Steve.

If you get a chance (and haven't already), could you raise the issue in JIRA please?

Many thanks,
Mike

ok
https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2544

but I realized, it's not absurl
it's any setContextPath in an external app
so if /myapp and /alfresco are running on the same server
setContextPath('/alfresco') no longer works from within /myapp
and you need to set _alfContextPath

Actually the method seems like it was changed just make this setContextPath fail in such a case.
I don't know the reasoning. I do know it was non-trivial to get node summary panel working outside alfresco in the first place. Maybe there's a better alternative now.

Thanks for the heads-up Steve.
