Dear Sir,
FYI...I have done it through the following way.
My solution...
controller.xml
_____________________
<request-map uri="goToWebsite">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="java"
path="com.akm.exim.events.CallExternalWebsite"
invoke="callExternalWebsite"/>
<response name="success" type="url-redirect" value="DomCustomerList"/>
<response name="error" type="view" value="errorPage"/>
</request-map>
_____________________
CallExternalWebsite java file
----------------------------------
public class CallExternalWebsite {
public static final String module = CallExternalWebsite.class.getName();
public static String callExternalWebsite(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
Map<String, Object> parameters = UtilHttp.getParameterMap(request); //
To get parameters from ftl file
String url = parameters.get("customerWebsite").toString().trim();
String os = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Debug.logInfo("=======url=========", url);
try {
if (os.indexOf( "win" ) >= 0) {
rt.exec( "rundll32 url.dll, FileProtocolHandler " + url);
//pls read this. this opens up new browser window
} else if (os.indexOf( "mac" ) >= 0) { // for Mac
rt.exec( "open " + url);
}
else if (os.indexOf( "nix") >=0 || os.indexOf( "nux") >=0) { // for unix
String[] browsers = {"epiphany", "firefox", "mozilla",
"konqueror", "netscape","opera","links","lynx"};
StringBuffer cmd = new StringBuffer();
for (int i=0; i<browsers.length; i++)
cmd.append( (i==0 ? "" : " || " ) + browsers[i] +" \"" +
url + "\" ");
rt.exec(new String[] { "sh", "-c", cmd.toString() });
} else {
request.setAttribute("_EVENT_MESSAGE_", url);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
String errMsg = "Unable to open url." + e.toString();
request.setAttribute("_ERROR_MESSAGE_", errMsg);
return "error";
}
return "success";
}
}
----------------------------------
Form
-------------------------------
<form name="FindDomesticCustomers" type="single"
target="FindDomesticCustomers" default-entity-name="AkmCustomer"
header-row-style="header-row" default-table-style="basic-table">
<field name="customerTypeId"><hidden value="Domestic"/></field>
<!-- The above field customerTypeId is passed hidden with
value 'Domestic' is like the following sql statement
select * from AkmCustomer where customerTypeId = "Domestic" -->
<field name="noConditionFind"><hidden value="Y"/></field>
<!-- if the above "noConditionFind" field name isn't there
then with all fields empty no query will be done -->
<field name="customerId" title="${uiLabelMap.customerId}">
<drop-down allow-empty="true">
<entity-options description="${customerId} - ${companyName}"
key-field-name="customerId"
entity-name="AkmCustomer">
<entity-constraint name="customerTypeId" operator="equals" value="Domestic"/>
<entity-order-by field-name="customerId"/>
</entity-options>
</drop-down>
</field>
<field name="customerContactPerson"
title="${uiLabelMap.customerContactPerson}"><text-find
ignore-case="true"/></field>
<field name="searchButton" title="${uiLabelMap.CommonFind}"
widget-style="smallSubmit">
<submit button-type="button"
image-location="/images/icons/magnifier.png"/>
</field>
</form>
-------------------------------
List view form
---------------------------------
<form name="ListDomesticCustomers" type="list" list-name="listIt"
paginate-target="FindDomesticCustomers"
default-entity-name="AkmCustomer" separate-columns="true"
odd-row-style="alternate-row"
header-row-style="header-row-2"
default-table-style="basic-table hover-bar">
<actions>
<service service-name="performFind" result-map="result"
result-map-list="listIt">
<field-map field-name="inputFields" from-field="eximCtx"/>
<field-map field-name="entityName" value="AkmCustomer"/>
<field-map field-name="orderBy" from-field="parameters.sortField"/>
<field-map field-name="viewIndex" from-field="viewIndex"/>
<field-map field-name="viewSize" from-field="viewSize"/>
</service>
</actions>
<field name="customerWebsite" title="${uiLabelMap.customerWebsite}">
<hyperlink target="goToWebsite"
description="${customerWebsite}" also-hidden="false">
<parameter param-name="customerWebsite"/>
</hyperlink>
</field>
</form>
---------------------------------
Result: on find... the table shows up the rows. on clicking the
customerWebsite on each row, it is opening up a new window and taking
me to the respective url.
Thank you for your kind help.
regards
Avijit
