Tag: wcf:url

The wcf:url tag builds a URL and applies the appropriate WebSphere Commerce supported rewriting rules.

It contains the following additions compared to the c:url tag:

• It builds a full path URL, rather than a relative path.

• It builds SEO compliant URLs if the feature is used in WebSphere Commerce.

• It adds a prefix to the URL with the appropriate protocol, HTTP or HTTPS, depending on the Struts configuration files.
