Hello Tapestry users,
I 'm using T5.1 in my project, so I 'm using the URLRewriter method of
rewriting urls.
I 'm trying to develop a page who will show error messages for different
situations, (e.g. 404, 503,... and when spring-security detects that you
have no privileges for a page).
This page is in a custom tapestry library which has a virtual name called
"mylib" so as the page name is Error it's path is:
"/contextPath/mylib/error"
but, I 'd like the user didn't see "mylib" in the path, so I thought that
URLRewriter would help me!.
I 've configured my web.xml like this:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>/error/404</location>
</error-page>
and spring-security to redirect to /contextPath/error/forbidden whenever
the user has no privileges to view a page.
The Error page takes 404 and forbidden as an extra in the onActivate method
so it can decide which message to show.
URLRewriting seems to be working for me because whenever I access for
example /contextPath/error/forbidden the correct Error page is shown.
Here 's the problem,
this Error page uses the same Layout as every other page in the site, this
Layout includes an icon/link menu. Those links are somehow transformed
(actually I never wanted to modify them!)
and as a result of this unwanted transformation they are pointing to a path
that doesn't include the context path so the user is stuck on that page
because the links to get out are malformed (they got no context path).
Please I would appreciate your help on this one,
perhaps I could just live with showing the "mylib" virtual name on the path
but I would prefer not to.
cheers and thanks in advance.
Nicolás.-
