Displaying "path" details for an item

The path component tag is used to represent certain parts of the URL. The PathCmpnt tag can represent the servlet path, the base path, or the context path of the current page. This tag can be added to presentation templates, element designs and component designs.

<pathcmpnt type=" " start=" " end=" " />

type=" " This determines the type of path component:

base

context

This returns the context section of a URL. For example, /ILWWCM

servlet

start=" "

end=" "

/> Closes the tag.

Restriction: Using the path component in a portlet.

The URLs generated by the path component will be fully qualified when viewed through a portal. To generate URLs with no prefix, use the following "Type" parameters instead of the standard parameters:

  • Type="noprefixbase" instead of Type="base"

  • Type="noprefixservlet" instead of Type="servlet".

  • Type="Prefix". When viewed through portal the, prefix value will be printed. If no prefix exists then empty string is returned.
