Absolute URLs being changed to relative URLs

(Using DreamWeaver CS3)
DreamWeaver keeps changing the Absolute URLs for this site's
Flash menu into relative links which crashes the menu. Does anyone
know how to stop this?
The Flash menu source code is hard-coded into the DW Template
file within OBJECT tags.

XML being loaded thru an absolute URL

Hi,
I have an slide show that references a XML document (through
an absolute URL) which then calls images (also through an absolute
URL). I'm doing this because I'm pulling the show onto a facebook
page therefore need it absolutely referenced. [ex:
http://www.mysite.com/photolist.xml
The problem I'm running into is that once I try to use the
same file on my own site by referencing it relatively, it only
works when the user types in my URL with "www" included.
So it WILL NOT work if someone goes to
http://mysite.com but WILL work if
they go to
http://www.mysite.com
Does anyone have an idea of what might cause this and if
there is a work around? Thanks!

you are going to have to tell me where "display remote URL's
enabled" is at?
i can tell you that i am able to see graphics from adobe.com
when i place a remote URL in my code, it shows up. to make matters
even more confusing and painful... i quit CS3, opened my site up in
dreamweaver 8 and started working on the site. upon reading your
reply, i quit 8 and reopened CS3 to see if i could find this
"display remote URL's enabled" feature, and unable to find it, i
did notice that my previous page with ??? now displayed correctly
after being run through dreamweaver 8. what does this mean? is
dreamweaver doing something with my remote site that CS3 is failing
to do??? using the exact same setup and procedure... CS3 just fails
miserably and I can't figure out why.

Absolute URL's do not display in design editor

if i create a new page in my Site and I display a absolute
URL image in my page ie:
http://images.apple.com/home/2007/images/finalcutstudio20070415.jpg
a image from apple.com's homepage. the image displays
perfectly inside my HTML preview inside dreamweaver.
however.... :( if i take that same image and place it inside
my site (in a image folder) and i link the image using an absolute
URL ie:
http://www.mysite.com/images/finalcutstudio20070415.jpg
the image suddenly no longer will preview inside dreamweaver.
what gives??? i can view a external absolute img URL from another
companys website, but using the same site URL that my project
contains displays a ? icon instead of the image, even though if you
copy and paste that same URL into a browser the image loads. it
ONLY works if the image is hosted on another site not associated
with your sites URL. This is NOT the way dreamweaver 8 was
working... in fact, i opened my site directly from dreamweaver 8
and the image loaded perfectly. i can quit dreamweaver 8 and open
CS3 and using the same site and same site settings that same image
shows up as a ? and nothing will get through unless its a different
website URL entierly!!! i am so confused... what has changed?
and before someone says " you need to upload that image to
your site" i am past that.. the image i took from apple
http://images.apple.com/home/2007/images/finalcutstudio20070415.jpg
i COPIED AND PASTED INTO MY WEBSERVER IMAGE DIRECTORY. so its
absolutely 100% not a "your image shows up as a ? because it
doesn't exist BS... no it exists.. its very much the correct URL..
i can copy the absolute URL of my image on my site and paste it
into a browser and it displays fine. its only dreamweaver CS3
trying to do some weird crap that causes it to show up as a grey ?
box. and remember.. in dreamweaver 8 i can open the page and it has
www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg written in the code and it displays
off my site PERFECTLY. someone have any clue why this is now not
working, and how i can fix it without having to work entierly in
relative URLS, and then go back and manually paste in my
www.website.com in front of all relative URLS after i am 100%
finished.. I would rather go back to dreamweaver 8 where it works
than use CS3 and not have this feature working.... 1 step forward 2
steps backward.

Is there a Component for rendering images with Absolute URLs?

I would like a component like <h:graphicImage> that would accept absolute URLs instead of relative ones. Does such a beast exist or should I write one myself?
Note, I'm looking for a component because I want the image to appear in a table and the URL changes for every row. If I just handcode a <img> tag in the <h:column> tag, it doesn't get rendered for every row.

<h:graphicImage> can use absolute URL.

Absolute URLs not working when file is on a remote server.

My client has asked me to provide a template for an investor relations section of their website. The HTML page or template for this page will be at the service providers site, but all the images etc. for the page will be linked to files on my clients server. Everything looks fine, but the absolute URL's in the .swf file back to my clients site aren't working.
This is what the service provider's guidlines say, but I'm not sure where the code is supposed to go:
Similarly, newer versions of the Flash Media Player installed by most users have a high level of security enabled by default. This is done to prevent Flash movies from playing on web pages that are hosted on different domains than the movie itself (again, to combat “phishing” or “spoofing”).
You do have the ability to overwrite this feature by proactively developing your Flash file so that it contains the following lines of code:
System.security.allowDomain(“*”)
stem.security.allowInsecureDomain(“*”)
Sy
You should also add the following line of HTML within the embedded Flash call in your HTML template:
<param name=”AllowScriptAccess” value=”always” />
This solution requires edits to the ActionScript of the pre-compiled Flash file, and is not something we can edit. For further guidance and more information, please speak with the developer of your Flash file.
Thanks

the easiest way to deal with security issues is to avoid them. if all files are on the same server, use relative urls.
otherwise, you may have to deal with security issues. whether you do or not, and if you do, how you deal with them, depends on what you're trying to do.
you may be able to use System properties but you may need cross-domain security files.

Including an absolute URL in a jsp

All the documentation that I have seen says that I CAN NOT include a file in a jsp using an absolute URL...only relative URL's can be included. Is this true? If not, can somebody give me an example of how to do this?
Thanks,
Pat

Hello Pat
What is the URL doing is it trying to access a JSP file
if so , Then you meed to include the port number with the URL
if not an JSP then I Think It works fine with Absolute URL
Good Luck
Ranjith

Creating absolute urls in CQ for consuming externally.

1) Selector which gets parsys
 StringWriter defaultHtml = new StringWriter();
 pageContext.pushBody(defaultHtml);
%>
 <cq:include path="<%=nodeName%>" resourceType="<%=resourceType%>"/>
<% pageContext.popBody();%>
<%=defaultHtml %>
2) the above produces relative urls, so the externall app wont show images, styles, any scripts.
3) how can make the above output with absolute urls. Please suggest.

I'm sorry, here is the link

LoadMovie with absolute URL

Hi there,
I am very new to Flash and have been going around in circles for days trying to figure this out.
I can't get swf to loadMovie when on server. I understand I need to use the path relative to the html page.
Server info:
Server Name:   server33.000webhost.com
Home Root (file system path):   /home/a6667948
Folder to upload files:   public_html
Have tried this but doesn't work:
on (release) {
    My_mc.loadMovie("http://server33.000webhost.com/home/a6667948/public_html/Images/Test.swf");
My html page and 'Images' folder are located inside 'public_html' folder.
Main.swf and Test.swf are both located inside 'Images'.
Is there any obvious thing I have done wrong?
Also: I have got the code below from forum to find the absolute URL... but get the following errors:
I am desperate to get my flash site working but just aren't savy enough to figure it out. I need your help.
Thanks in advance.
ERRORS--
';' expected
public function getAbsoluteUrl(urlInput:String):String {
Wrong number of parameters;
loadMovie(getAbsoluteUrl(_root._url) + "_assets/lib.swf");
CODE--
public function getAbsoluteUrl(urlInput:String):String {
var strResult:String = "";
if(urlInput.indexOf("http://") > -1) //only convert when online
if(urlInput.indexOf(".swf") > -1) // only convert when an actual .swf file is used
strResult = urlInput.substring(0, urlInput.lastIndexOf("/")+1); // find absolut path minus filename of .swf
return strResult;
loadMovie(getAbsoluteUrl(_root._url) + "_assets/lib.swf");

if you use an absolute url you will have security issues to overcome. unless you're loading a swf from a different domain, there's no reason to add this additional complexity to your task.
if you can use a relative path, you need to know the path from the html file that embeds your main swf to the swf you want to load.

Netui:anchor renders absolute url

Hi there,
I've got a Workshop application that runs in a clustered environment. Say, the application address is http://server1:7001/MyApp/Controller.jpf.
The cluster has an IIS frontend. When I go to the URL https://frontend:1111/MyApp/Controller.jpf, the frontend host forwards my request to http://server1:7001/MyApp/Controller.jpf.
This is all OK, but when my application uses authentication, the netui:anchors inside it render to absolute URL's like https://frontend:7001/MyApp/action.do.... , and I can't get past the opening page, because the frontend listens at port 7001.
Whenever I remove authentication, the anchors are rendered to relative URLs.
The anchors point to actions in the page flow. The WEB-INF/web.xml contains the following section:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>MyAppName</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>myappname</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>MyRole</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>MyRole</role-name>
</security-role>
When calling the server host directly, everything goes well with authentication, and also everything works well when calling the frontend with authentication disabled.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Warper

New page on click of absolute url

I need IE to open new page of the absolute url when user click the url on initial page, but as result the new page always replace the inital page but not open a new session, I also refer to the threads in the forum like adding "sap-sessioncmd=open" or "syscmd=nocookie" but still does not work, can anyone give me any suggestion?following is my coding:
Layout of the page1.htm:
<htmlb:link id = "link1"
 text = "google with new session"
 reference = "http://www.google.com"
 target = "_BLANK"
 onClick = "LinkClick">
<htmlb:link>
OnInputProcessing:
if event_id = cl_htmlb_manager=>event_id. " HTMLB event?
 data: lr_htmlb_event type ref to cl_htmlb_event.
 lr_htmlb_event = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( request ).
 if lr_htmlb_event is not initial.
 if lr_htmlb_event->server_event = 'LinkClick'.
 call method navigation->use_absolute_url.
 call method navigation->goto_page
 exporting
 url = 'http://www.google.com/ncr?sap-sessioncmd=open'
* url = 'http://www.google.com/ncr?sap-syscmd=nocookie'
 session = 'NEW'.
 endif.
 endif.
endif.
Message was edited by: Patrick Yan

now i got a few minutes to work on this.
here is a sample code.
in the layout of the flow logic:
i am using button for example,
1) <htmlb:button id = 'CONTINUE'
 text = "Continue"
 onClick = "OnInputProcessing(continue)" />
2) create a page attribute called index and also link the 'continue' page to the same page in the BSP
3)in the layout
<% IF INDEX = '1'.(use the dynamic link)
l_url = 'http://www.google.com/'. %>
 <script type="text/javascript">

</script>
4) in the oninput processing of this page
assign event
l_event = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( runtime->server->request ).
IF l_event->id = 'CONTINUE'.
l_index = '1'.
 navigation->set_parameter( name = 'INDEX'
 value = l_index ).
 navigation->NEXT_page( 'CONTINUE' ).
endif.
so when you click on the button you should get the google page in a popup.
this is working for me. let me know if you are still having problms.

Absolute URL IMAGE UI control in Web Dynpro ABAP fails

I would like to display a .jpg from the Internet, either using a URL or an RFC Destination as the source.
The "Web Dynpro ABAP Development in Detail" manual says that this can be done using only the Source attribute of the IMAGE UI control (see page 114) - that is,
   create an RFC Destination G-HTTP entry for the URL,
   type in that RFC Destination as $NAME$
   append any further extension of the URL as "/path in lower letters"
I can enter an RFC Destination (ex., $UBERORBS$) which points directly to a single image file via its host/path and it is displayed in SE80's Layout Preview, but nothing displays at runtime.
If I try to extend an RFC Destination's path to point to that image file (ex., $UBERORBS_BASE$/uberorbs_44pence.jpg), the image is also displayed in the Layout Preview, but not at runtime.
Is this a bug? or something wrong with our implementation? We are at SAP_BASIS 700 level 0006.
(Also, if the Source entry is not exactly correct, SE80 aborts following the entry with STRING_OFFSET_NEGATIVE.)

Here's another piece of information.
I am able to use the test app WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS to display at runtime the $UBERORBS$ RFC Destination-absolute URL image.
So, does this mean that there is a critical setting within my Web Dynpro component which must be set properly to permit this?

Absolute URL in IWDCachedWebResource expires quickly

Hi,
I am displaying a PDF file in an IFrame where the frame points to an absolute URL accessed by a method of the class IWDCachedWebResource.
The code snippet:
IWDCachedWebResource genResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource( byte[], WDWebResourceType.PDF);
wdContext.nodeXXXXX.setIFrameURL(genResource.getAbsoluteURL());
This absolute URL expires very quickly leavng a 404 Not Found exception.
Can we influence this setting making this absolute URL to last longer?
Regards
MK

Meesum,
Try to add line: genResource.setReadOnce( false )
Otherwise there is a risk that WD invalidates cached resource after first read (this may be HEAD request from browser).

Getting application absolute URL

Hi,
I am working with Portatl 8.1.
My need is getting the absolute URL to the portal web-app context path, i.e. the
good context path working with all desktops created using the portal administration
application.
How do I get it using the portal API ?

Thank you. I had tried that but got

when what I wanted/hoped to get was
(b) http://localhost:8080/myapp/
Is there a solution?

Submitting a form data to an absolute url from an h:form?

I am using <h:form> in a jsf file.
I need to submit this form to an absolute url. How to accomplish this? I cannot do this way (code at commadButton).
<h:form prependId="false" id="form2">
 <h:panelGrid columns="2">
 <h:outputText value="Applicant Name: "></h:outputText>
 <h:outputText value="#{appbean.applicantName}" id="name"></h:outputText>
 <h:outputText value="AAMC ID" />
 <h:outputText value="#{appbean.aamcId}"></h:outputText>
 <h:outputText value="Applicant EmailId" />
 <h:outputText value="#{appbean.email}"></h:outputText>
 </h:panelGrid> 
 <h:inputHidden value="3453323242324" id="Identifier"></h:inputHidden>
 <h:inputHidden id="Order_Items" value="0"></h:inputHidden>
 <h:inputHidden id="Order_Price" value="50"></h:inputHidden>
 <h:inputHidden id="Order_Checksum1" value="9233"></h:inputHidden>
 <h:inputHidden id="Order_Checksum2" value="2623423"></h:inputHidden>
 <h:commandButton action="absoluteurl?" />
 </fomr>So what I thought was submit the form to a new page "result.jsp" In result.jsp I used response.sendRedirect(). The absolute url will process the form data.Can you please helpppp..

Hi Sri,
You will need to have a Show item for the form as the users will need to be able to view the contents of the form.
Darin's idea for the email is a good one. You should create a group for all the intended recipients of the email and then configure them to receive notification on updates to the directory that you specify your XML forms to point to.
SAP library has the answers.

Absolute URL not working for reply in workflow

I've setup a workflow that will email a group when a new discussion or reply is added. I get the email with the subject of the discusssion and the absolute URL for new discussions, but when a reply is created the email comes without the subject and the absolute
URL goes to a page that doesn't exist.

Hi,
When it comes to a reply in the discussion list, you need to take extra steps to get the URL. You can set the workflow actions like this:
If Current Item: Content Type ID equals Discussion
Email user group(use the Encoded Absolute URL in the email content)
Else if Current Item: Content Type ID equals Message
Email user group( Use this URL in the email body:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/Flat.aspx?RootFolder=%2FLists%2FTeam%20Discussion%2F[%Current Item:Discussion Subject%]. This will link you to the flat view of the discussion. If you want to link to the display form for the message, you can set
the URL like this:
http://servername/Lists/Team%20Discussion/DispForm.aspx?ID=[%Current Item:ID%])
