I'd like to do that, but to get it to generate the correct URL I'd have to know the current template and pane. Otherwise, I'd have to either hard code the pane id into the template (bad) or the object that renders the template (even worse). Ideally, the portlet would be freely relocatable without code changes.
I can almost get what I want with rundata.getRequest().getRequestURL(). However, this doesn't work in the case where the portlet lives on the default page and the following happens: 1) The user accesses the following page: http://myhost/jetspeed 2) The user selects an item on the list generated by the portlet 3) While viewing the item details, the user selects a new tab 4) The user clicks the "back" button in their browser 5) The user then attempts to click the "back" link generated by getting getRequestURL(), which doesn't have pane information This will result in the "back" button taking them to the last pane they viewed, since that information is stored in the session. It's obscure enough that I could live with it, but I'd rather just do it right the first time. Eventually a user will complain. I also figure that it's handy to know how to programmatically get the current correct URL, active pane, etc. -- Michael On 12/20/02 12:24 AM, "Raffaele Ragni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i've always used used $jlink.addQueryData(name,value) to post some query > parameters, > to retrieve the url just $jlink.
