TemplateNode.getUrl()

nyronian — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 15:42:36 GMT

I have noticed the TemplateNode.getUrl() does not include the context in the url. As a result the returned URL, without adding the context, seems unuasable. Am I missing something here? How does one deal with the url context without hardcoding it? I know it is available through the FacesContext,

In 2.1 you have the ${url.context} value that will give you the context (such as /alfresco) - previous to 2.1 you have to hardcode that value into your templates, such as <a href="/alfresco${node.url}">…</a>

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for your quick response Kevin.

I am on 2.0 right now. Is the FacesContext or the HTTPServletRequest the only way to retreive that data? How are you doing it in 2.1? I was putting the context in a static variable in a class with a static initializer. The problem is, if it is first initialized by a servlet then I have to pass in the servletrequest to get the context. Just curious if you know.

Do you know if there are any issues in 2.0 around changing the context? Is /alfresco hardcoded within the system anywhere that will cause the system to break?

Thanks again.
