Link To Another App

[Kesslers]

I am creating a new app.  I would like to
include links to other app in my app.  In order to get the login key
included in my link I need to have it generated.  I have been looking
at the way ComponentConfig.java works in appbar.ftl.  Nevertheless, I
have not been able to figure out how to generate a specific link from my app


to another app (ie: Party Manager).  Thank you for your time and
assistance.

not sure if your talking about your app being in ofbiz or outside.
Have you read the production setup pdf?
There is an example app in framework you can use to start your own app.
The others are included, by default.

I'm sorry I must have not been very clear.  I am able to get my app knit
into the ofbiz apps.  It is listed on the app bar.  However I want to insert
a link in one of my pages to a specific page within another app.  How can I
generate a single link in one of my pages that connects to a specific page
in another app.  This generated link will need the login key in order that
the user does not have to login again when they click the link.

If I understand you right, you want open a new screen from a current
app, like partymgr with a link your your app.

short answer thru your controller, you can link to any part of ofbiz you
want.

In a screen widget use url-mode="inter-app" in your link target, or in an ftl
file use the @ofbizUrl macro.

I thought of those, but with the direction the layout is going, I am not
sure these will supported once framework is standalone and application
are moved to the normal structure in tomcat or gerinimo.

The big problem with this is that the decorator of the calling screen is
replaced by the decorator of the screen which is called....

To get the a screen from the party application into a
custom app screen do the following:

1) make sure the party app is using for it's decorator
location ${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}

2) make sure you have defined mainDecoratorLocation in
your custom app's WEB-INF/web.xml file

3) make the request to a uri in your app's
controller.xml

4) make that uri call a view

5) make that view call the screen from the party app

Following these steps will display that screen with
the decorator in your application (provided your
decorator has the same name that the party app's
screen is calling  (ie main-decorator)

forgot step 6 would reply to my own post but the
apache lists take a bit of time to process emails...

step 6) make sure your app can handle (has a uri) all
of the requests that the party app's screen has for
links/form action
