Good suggestions.
I tried './', which didn't work.
I looked in Liferay why it doesn't like relative URL's and it boils
down to this method:
public String encodeURL(String path) {
if ((path == null) ||
(!path.startsWith("/") && (path.indexOf("://") == -1))) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"URL path must start with a '/' or include '://'");
}
...
...
}
The URLs resolve fine if I use Liferay's hot deploy feature, where the
JSF portlet is deployed in its own .war as part of the portal ear.
However, on Weblogic 8.1(which I deploy on) requests to my JSF portlet
war use a separate HttpSession then the portal's own war, which ruins
portlet to portlet communication, and portal to portlet communication.
What a pain this is.
Back to the drawing board.
