Hi Steven,
at the moment this is intended behavior by lack of a better solution.
The problem is that for RIFE there is no way of knowing which element
ID you mean when you point it to a destClass. The element can be
included many times, with different IDs and in different sub-sites.
A solution that I now think of is that instead of just assuming that
the element resides in the same sub-site, that logic could be changed
to selecting the first element declared with the destination class as
its implementation. What do you think? Would that work? It seems that
it would cover most of the things that people expect when using it.
Best regards,
Geert

element classes rather than textual IDs.
This works fine some of the time, but when I refer to an element in
another subsite, I get an exception. For example, if I have an
element EditRecord in an authentication-required subsite that's
referenced from the arrival page for a public subsite, I get
SEVERE:
com.uwyn.rife.engine.exceptions.ElementIdNotFoundInSiteException:
The element id '.Public.EditRecord' couldn't be found, it was
referenced in the site with id '.Public.'.

Is this a bug or the way it's intended to work? It seems less
useful than it could be, but maybe there's a reason it's a good
idea to restrict class references to the same subsite.
