[opencms-dev] Linking (forwarding) pages

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi Petr,

Long delay here, but couldn't see any answers to your question. 

There's no module that I know of that fits your need. But do you really need one? If I was creating this sort of system, I'd simply define an OpenCms property and store each function key on the corresponding OpenCms page, in that property. A very simple JSP could then - using only the function key as input parameter - be used to locate the correct page in OpenCms.

This way, the key<-->page "mapping" should be more robust than if you had, say, the mapping in a separate file or database. (If you were to move pages around in OpenCms, for example, you wouldn't have to update any mapping table, everything would just work.)

Hope this was of some help to you.

Cheers,
Paul

Subject: [opencms-dev] Linking (forwarding) pages

Hello,
I want to use OpenCMS as online help over embedded browser in our application.
Each function|form in application has page in OpenCMS. But we do not directly add path to page to application.
We want to forward by unique key of function (number, string) to specified page in CMS.

I try to find any module which can be helpful to this problem but without success :-(.
I could create a simple servlet which can forward to real page in CMS and define mapping between application key and context path in CMS or create add-on module to OpenCMS.
So exists any module?

Thanks for reply
