JSTL issue with c:url

[romain.dev.easycity.com]

Hi guys,

I use seam 1.2.1 GA (with facelets) and jboss 4.0.5 GA.

I'm trying to use urlrewrite to have nice URLs.

This doesn't work :

<c:url var="siteMapURL" value="/sitemap/index.seam"></c:url>
<a href="{siteMapURL}">Sitemap</a>

Here is the ERROR :

An Error Occurred:
/include/top.xhtml @73,57 <c:url> Tag Library supports namespace: http://java.sun.com/jstl/core, but no tag was defined for name: url

Here is to outbound-rule :

    <outbound-rule>
        <from>^/sitemap/index.seam$</from>
        <to>/world</to>
    </outbound-rule>

XML Namespaces are :

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
     xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
     xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
     xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
     xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core">

Here is the JSTL Documentation.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Romain

The facelets docs specify what jstl tags are available.  <c:url/> is not supported.

Ok, that's right. Thanks.

Do you know how I can do it though ?

Here is the JSP equivalent :

<a href="<%= response.encodeURL("/old/url/scheme/page.jsp") %>">some link</a>

Is there a way to do it with facelets ?

Best,

Romain

How about

<a href="${request.contextPath}/old/url/scheme/page.jsp">some link</a>

Thanks,

The link works but it doesn't go into the urlrewriter.

The old URL is displayed.

Isn't there a h:outputLink that does stuff like this? (I don't think I ever used it, hehe.)

[romain.dev.easycity.com]

Great, it works like a charme with h:outputLink !

Cheers

[keithnaas]

Yea, I suppose that h:outputLink would work too...If you wanted to do it the easy way..haha :)

However, I still have an issue here.

If on the same page I have different links that need to be rewritten, the all end up to be the same.

Exemple :

If I click on :

<h:outputLink value="/sitemap/index.seam">Sitemap</h:outputLink>

The url become :

http://localhost:8080/world

cause of this rule :

    <outbound-rule>
        <from>^/sitemap/index.seam$</from>
        <to>/world</to>
    </outbound-rule>

Fine.

But when this page loads, it contails a set of diffent links that need to be rewritten :

<h:outputLink href="/sitemap/country.seam?country_code=#{country[0]}">#{country[1]}</h:outputLink>

I set up this rule :

<outbound-rule>
<from>^/sitemap/country.seam?country_code=([a-zA-Z]+)$</from>
        <to>/world/$1</to>
    </outbound-rule>

However, this is rendered as :

http://localhost:8080/world

Instead of :

http://localhost:8080/world/us

Strange behavior :/
