Links in SpringMVC

[m1051f]

I am currently at this URL localhost:8080/Test/students/Steve

The page from that URL displays some info about Steve and a link that goes to teachers.

<a href="teachers/all">Click to view all teachers</a>

When I click the link it goes to localhost:8080/Test/students/teachers/all
I want localhost:8080/Test/teachers/all

How can I do that?

I managed to do it with

<a href="../teachers/all">Click to view teachers</a>

but .... is there another way to do this?
