AW: [opencms-dev] Static export of dynamic links

[Bart Elberg]

Well after some playing with static export, I got most of my links 
working.  To answer Kai's question: yes, this is in a template.  Here is 
the answer to my own question.  The original link in the template was:

    href="]]><method 
name="getServletPath"/><![CDATA[projects/projects/project.htm?org=]]><PROCESS>orgid</PROCESS><![CDATA["

and to support static export the link now looks like:

    
href="]]><link>/projects/projects/project.htm?org=<PROCESS>orgid</PROCESS></link><![CDATA["

There are a couple of subtle points in this example... no CDATA within 
the LINK tag and the PROCESS tag can be nested within the LINK tag.

A second example:

    <img src="]]><PROCESS>buttonoffimage</PROCESS><![CDATA["

In this case the entire link/URLis generated in the associated class. 
 To support static export the calling program must use the 
getLinkSubstitution() method to map the link.  Then the code can set the 
link/URL in the template.

      String imagePath = cms.getLinkSubstitution("/projects/images/");
      templateDocument.setData("buttonoffimage", imagePath + 
buttonOffImage);

I hope these examples help other people (I sure could have used them!). 
 Now that this is working, I realize that there are other problems with 
static export... more emails!!!
