Get the ecommerce Url within a java method

[Robert Gan]

Hey, I have a question:
I need to get the URL for Categories or products in a java method. I have the categoryId or productId, is there a method to return the Url with these information?

I know, I can build it by my self, but I want to avoid to change lots of files, just in case when I change the name i.ex. "ecommerce" within the Url. I also believe, that there has to be those functions allready implemented, cause the application lives from Urls :)

Thanks in advance.

Robert

any ideas? :)

Try:   CatalogUrlServlet.makeCatalogUrl(request, productId, currentCategoryId, previousCategoryId);


Though I must admit it is probably a wrong location for the function and should be moved to a CatalogUtil class.

perfect thank you, i searched a lot, but could not find it :)

great!

Yea - well, the trick is to look into the freemarkerTransforms in this case, since within freemarker the function is used the most.

Glad I could be of help. Cheers

Robert,
Please take a look into the CatalogUtlServlet.java static method
makeCatalogUrl.
Method will take request, productId, categoryId, prevCategoryId as
parameters and return the url.

You may need to need to pass combination of parameters as null and actual
values to get the results you want.
