HTTP redirects for the geronimo.apache.org site
-----------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-1318
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1318
Project: Geronimo
Type: Improvement
Components: console
Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Paul McMahan
The welcome application and the welcome portlet currently contain links to web
pages outside of the geronimo.apache.org web site (e.g. the docs in
Confluence). Since the destination of these links is outside of our control
they may go stale during the lifetime of the 1.0 console. So instead of
linking to those web pages directly the welcome application and welcome portlet
should instead link to web pages on the geronimo.apache.org web site. The
geronimo.apache.org web site can then redirect the browser to the external
address if necessary. This will allow us to change where the links in the
welcome portlet and welcome app take a web browser without actually changing
the installed geronimo server.
Ideally we could configure the geronimo.apache.org HTTP server to issue the
redirects. But since that requires administrative access to the HTTP server we
can use html files containing a <meta http-equiv="refresh" ...> tag instead.
