Author forwarding to a specific portal page/portlet

2005-12-11, 7:54 am

Hi,

I would like to develop a component that sends emails with a link to a specific portlet. Any ideas how the corresponding url has to look like?

Thanks,
Igor

I've not personally done this, but many of my portal colleagues refer to
WPS's abilityt ot use "friendly URLs". You can make up a URL and have
portal redirect themt o a specific portal page with whatever portlets you
have configured on it.

Regards,
Brian.

Thanks Brian, it works!

I've configured the URL Mapping and now the clicking on a mapped URL from outside the portal takes me to a specific page. However I have a problem with accessing the URL parameters in my portlet. This problem occurs only if the login is required. In order
that you understand what I mean I describe further the steps I?m taking:

1. invoke the URL https://localhost:9081/wps/portal/mypage?docID=1234 from the browser
2. the login page appears
3. login
4. the desired page appears, the parameter map is empty
5. invoke the same URL from the same browser window (user is already logged in)
6. the desired page appears, the parameter map contains the docID parameter (even though I can?t access the parameters directly as I?m developing a JSR168 portlet, I can proceed as described in the following document: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks
/websphere/library/techarticles/0508_scott/0508_scott.html)

My problem is that I can?t access the URL parameters if the login process is involved. Could you ask your colleagues how I can approach this problem?
