[xwiki-users] Problem with action_xyz parameter in URL
Hi I have a problem with a URL containing a parameter of the form action_...=... The page does not load with this parameter. For an example see the xwiki.org start page ( http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?action_xyz). The parameter action_... seems to be used for something, but I couldn't find anything on what exactly and on how I can work around that. Unfortunately this URL is created by an external source (Facebook), so I can't change it. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks, Edo ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I've just grepped the whole source code and I've found this:
In ActionFilter.java:
...
if (parameter.startsWith(ACTION_PREFIX)) {
…
where:
/** The query property name prefix that indicates the target action. */
private static final String ACTION_PREFIX = action_;
This code is in a Filter. FTR here's its javadoc:
* A filter that dispatches requests to the right action, depending on the
button that was pressed in the editing form.
* This is needed since the browser cannot send the form data to different URLs
depending on the button pressed, and an
* XHTML form has only one target URL. In previous versions of XWiki this was
accomplished using javascript code, with a
* fall-back on a pseudo-dispatcher inside the {@link PreviewAction}, which was
on obvious case of bad code design.
* /p
* p
* The filter dispatches requests based on the presence of a request parameter
starting with ttaction_/tt followed
* by the name of the struts action that should actually process the request.
For example, the button that does
* ttSave and Continue/tt looks like:
*
* pre
* lt;input type=quot;submitquot; name=quot;action_saveandcontinuequot;
value=quot;...quot;/gt;
* /pre
*
* As a result, when clicking the button, the request is not sent to the form's
target (ttpreview/tt), but is
* actually forwarded internally to tt/bin/saveandcontinue/The/Document/tt.
* /p
Hope it helps,

Thank you Vincent
Since I was not sure if this comes from XWiki or somewhere below I forgot
the obvious solution - to search the source.
