Hi all,

I am trying to implement persistent links within an application coplet of the portal. By default the internal links of external applications are dynamically converted to "?cocoon-portal-event=xx" parameters at runtime. So a particular page of an external application is not easily bookmarkable or to be incorporated in search results, etc. So to have a search crawler be able to index these pages, these links have to be globally valid, identifyable and have to survive Tomcat restarts. In short, they have to be persistent.

I found it would be easiest to base the implementation on the PageLabelEventConverter.

As a test I tried to manually create a CopletLinkEvent within the start Method (initialize() wouldn't work because this code accesses the ProfileManager) to simulate recreating these Links from a persistent store:

public void start() {
    String label = this.labelManager.setCurrentLabel();
    try {
PortalService portalService = (PortalService)this.manager.lookup(PortalService.ROLE); PortalComponentManager componentManager = portalService.getComponentManager(); ProfileManager profileManager = componentManager.getProfileManager();
        if (this.eventList.size() == 0) {
CopletInstanceData cid = profileManager.getCopletInstanceData( "Google-1" );
            if (cid != null) {
                cid.setAttribute("cookie", null);
                cid.setAttribute("documentbase", "http://www.google.de/";);
Event persistentEevent = new CopletLinkEvent(cid, "/intl/de/about.html");
                this.eventList.add(persistentEevent);
            }
        }
    } catch (ServiceException se) {
this.getLogger().error("Error getting " + PortalService.ROLE + ": ", se);
    }
}

The event gets correctly endoded into the pages. Even decoding seems to work correctly, however clicking this link simply reloads the current page.

Any idea what might go wrong is much appreciated. The complete Code of PageLabelPersistentEventConverter is below.

Thanks
Guido
