TemplateNode.getUrl()

[nyronian]

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, or an HTTPServletRequest, but what if you have neither?  i.e. a Utility class that may be run outside of a FacesContext or and HTTPServletRequest. 

Are there methods of dealing with URL's with no context and making them work?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks.

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.
