Hi, All

I have created a web proxy channel and gave it an application URI (cw_xml)
as
htt://comm595-0634-203.bu.edu:8080/cfusion/sakaiTeamroom/teamSystem/teamSidebar.cfm.
The page for the URL has a form: <form action="resdb.cfm" method="post">

When I publish the channel and try to add this content, I am able to add the
channel to the uPortal page. However when I mouse over to the form submit
button on the uPortal page, I see that instead of pointing to the
'resdb.cfm' it points to 'render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n503.uP'. When I
click on the form submit button, I get an error: This channel failed to
render.

When I view code of the uPortal page the code has the following:



Therefore instead of still having <form action="resdb.cfm" method="post">
the uPortal page has <form action="render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n503.uP"


When I refresh the page, I am able to go to the submitted page that
originally has a link like:

a
href="/sakaiTeamroom/TeamSystem/reservations/deleteres.cfm?res_id=#res_id#">[Delete]


When I mouse over the link on the uPortal page I saw: it points to:


"render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n504.uP?res_id=286246&cw_xml=http://comm595-0634-203.bu.edu:8080/sakaiTeamroom/TeamSystem/reservations/deleteres.cfm
"

When I view the code I get:

a
href="render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n504.uP?res_id=286246&cw_xml=http://comm595-0634-203.bu.edu:8080/sakaiTeamroom/TeamSystem/reservations/deleteres.cfm


Therefore the ?res_id=286246 is right after



My question is: after subscribing to the we proxy channel, how can we
preserve the page that has the orginal form action and the right position to








 

<form action="render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n503.uP" method="post"> method="post"> ">[Delete] render.userLayoutRootNode.target.n504.uP instead of after deleteres.cfm. attach the parameter passing? Thank you very much for your advise. Helen
