[opencms-dev] Static Export & "External Links" (Pointers)

[Brabenetz, Harald]

Hello together,

I´m working with OpenCms 6.0.2 and run into a problem with the Static
Export & "External Links" (Pointers).

Explanation:

I wanted to forward from /sites/default/index.html to
/sites/default/overview/index.html

So I created an "external Link" (/sites/default/index.html) with a
Link-URL="./overview/index.html".

But it didn´t work with the static export:
The LinkManager genarated a link like
/OpenCms/OpenCms/sites/default/overview/index.html
But the site is located in /OpenCms/OpenCms/overview/index.html

Properties of /sites/default/ :
export=true
exportname=/



Please confirm wheather this is the correct solution or not:

After some time I thought there might be a bug in
CmsStaticExportManager.export(...)
I added one line (Line 430) and the Export worked fine!

Code:

           ......
           ......
           ......
409        CmsContextInfo contextInfo = new CmsContextInfo(
410            cms.getRequestContext().currentUser(),
411            cms.getRequestContext().currentProject(),
412            vfsName,
413            "/",
414            i18nInfo.getLocale(),
415            i18nInfo.getEncoding(),
416            remoteAddr);
417
418        cms = OpenCms.initCmsObject(null, contextInfo);
419
420        if (siteRoot != null) {
421            vfsName = vfsName.substring(siteRoot.length());
422        } else {
423            siteRoot = "/";
424        }
425
426        if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
427            LOG.debug(Messages.get().key(Messages.LOG_STATIC_EXPORT_SITE_ROOT_2, siteRoot, vfsName));
428        }
429        cms.getRequestContext().setSiteRoot(siteRoot);
430        cms.getRequestContext().setUri(vfsName); //New Line from brabenetz 2005-12-05
431
432        String oldUri = null;
433
434        // this flag signals if the export method is used for "on demand" or "after publish".
435        // if no request and result stream are available, it was called during "export on publish"
436        boolean exportOnDemand = ((req != null) && (res != null));
           ......
           ......
           ......
