h:link / h:button - navigate to external URL's

Hi all,
Does anybody know if it's possible to use the new JSF 2.0 tags <h:link> and <h:button> to navigate to URL's outside the current application context?
Thank you very much!!
J.

That's one of those things I 'tried' - without success.
According to the spec, the outcome attribute refers to "+The logical outcome used to resolve a navigation case.+", which is not exactly an external URL neither.
Does that work in your environment?
Thx
J.

Navigate to external URL from secured APEX server

NOTE I am using the internal Oracle APEX server to host my application, so it may be possible that you will have to be an Oracle employee with the same access, or using a similar setup, in order to respond. Even if you are not, if you feel inclined to "take a swing" at it, keep this in mind.
Hi all,
I am using the internal APEX server at oracle to host an application (Application Express 4.0.2.00.07). I have other, NON-APEX applications hosted on other servers within the Oracle firewall.
On page 0 of the APEX application (which, as you may know, usually displays as the "header" section of every other page in the application) I have created a select list of the other projects and their associated URLs as well as a "Go" button, so users that want to navigate to the other applications can do so from this application. Since page 0 does not seem to allow the creation of standard branch items (please correct me otherwise), I have created a process on that page triggered by the "Go" button. The process currently contains the following code:
begin
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript">
window.open (:P0_PRODUCT_PAGES); 
</script>');
end;
That code currently replaces the existing page with a blank page and the associated URL is "https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept". I am assuming this means that APEX was looking for an application ID and/or page and did not get it so it "stopped" at this page.
I am unaware if there are any settings on the APEX server, DB,or associated web server preventing me from navigating outside of APEX once I am running the hosted application.
I would like to launch another properly-sized (default) browser window rather than replace the existing window pointing to the URL for the selected application.
I have also tried using the owa.util code to try to generate the proper URL but was likewise unsuccessful.
NOTE: I am not looking for different ways to do this by changing server parameters, settings, etc. since I do not have server rights to do this. Additionally, due to time constraints, I would prefer not to be drawn in to a discussion of the comparisons and/or benefits of owa.util or javascript over the other for navigating to an external URL from within APEX, etc. (I'm not trying to be a "punk", but I AM under the gun to resolve this with very limited time). In light of this, please indicate if you have a working option to do this under similar conditions that I can implement quickly. I have done much research within the forums and Googled extensively for information from outside sources but have not yet found something that will provide the proper results.
If you are an oracle employee and wish to contact me directly, please email me at [email protected]
Crossing my fingers and hoping someone has done this before.
Many thanks in advance; your useful contribution will actually contribute to lessening the world's INSOMINA factor considerably (mostly mine). ;)

Opening a URL in a new tab or window has to happen in the browser, without submitting the page. The server doesn't know about browser windows. Use:
onchange="window.open(this.value);" in the HTML Form Element Attributes property of <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> (making the "Go" button unnecessary), or, if the "Go" button is required to match the LAF:
onclick="window.open($v('P0_PRODUCT_PAGES'));"in the button Attributes property, ensuring the button is a template button including the <tt>#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#</tt> substitution string, e.g.
<input type="button" value="#LABEL#" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# />Ensure that absolute URLs are used in the <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> where necessary, specifying the correct scheme for the site, so that you are not trying to go to <tt>{noformat}https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/www.google.com{noformat}</tt> for example:
f?FOO:BAR:&APP_SESSION. // other APEX app hosted on apex.oraclecorp.com sharing the same authentication scheme
https://foo.oraclecorp.com // other secured internal site
http://www.google.com // unsecured external site

Link from BPF task to external url

Hi,
Is it possible to link to an external url from a BPF step? I have tried embedding in the content library, but the resolution is adequate.
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
From BPF, we cant open an external link. You can upload a link on content library and the content library can be opened through the BPF.
Hope this helps.

Navigate to external URL

Hi All,
We have a detailed report where we will get the detailed information of any cause, and from this report we want to provide a link to the our application.
We have a report with columns as below.
ProductLines      Reason          Type of issue             Issues No
A                   Reason1           TOIssue1                 123
B                   Reason2           TOIssue 2                 234
Now from this report if we click on Issue No column it should takes us to the application. For this we added custom test into Issue No as below.
*@[html]"<a href="http://localhsot/object/"Type of issue"/""@"" target="_blank">""@""</a>"*
where we are expecting the url format as *http://localhost/object/TOIssue1/123*
and one more problem is that if any of the reason values has space the url will not work.
Regards,
Somu

Hi Goran,
Thanks for reply, as you said modified the code as below and followed the instructions given by you.
below is the code
but with this we are getting link as http://localhost/object/TOIssue1/123%20target=
instead we want same link to come as below
http://localhost/object/TOIssue1/123
tried removing target="_blank" from the code after removing this column itself became blank. finally changed the code as below
with this getting link as below
http://localhost/object/TOIssue1/'
Is there any mistake from my side.

Somu

Linking to external URL using POST from a button in APEX

APEX Experts
Does anyone know how to link to an external URL using POST rather than GET behind an APEX button? I'm pretty sure there must be a javascript call but I'm a real newbie to both APEX and Javascript.
Also does anyone know why APEX decodes an encoded URL before sending it out and how to stop it?
Thanks
Deborah

I did something similar recently but it was in .NET.
Hopefully someone else here can help you do with Apex and Oracle. I am new to both.
To POST instead of GET is not as easy as it sounds.
What I did was open a new window where I outputted a dynamically created form. I would think that you would do that by using the pl/sql web toolkit to call a procedure and output the form using htp.p. You may also be able to do it with Apex (I think they are built using the same tech).
Basically, your proc would look something like this:
htp.p('<html><head>');
htp.p('</head><body onload="document.FORM.submit();">');
htp.p('<form name="FORM" method="POST" action="www.UrlToPostTo.com" >');
htp.p('<input name="PostVar" type="hidden" value="' || MyValueToPost || '">');
htp.p('</form></body></html>');
So, it creates a html page with a form. When the page loads, it runs the javascript to submit the form to the other site. You can add in as many post items as you need. I marked them as hidden so that the user only sees a blank page briefly before the form is submitted.
I am sure there is more to it than that, but it gives the general outline of how to post to another site dynamically. Hopefully someone else can fill in the rest.

Design-Time Data with external url linking

I have a data list here:
http://facetmedia.com/new/
In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi trancepriest,
First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button. Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list. From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport. If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item). Here's how:
Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data. Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
Hope that helps!

Open external URL in event Button.

Hi experts,
I have created a Button in Web Client that call an RFC. Later depending on response, It should open an external URL (e.g http://www.google.es).
I don't know how I can open a new link with abap code in the event.
Anyone knows it?
Thanks.

Hi,
In the code where you defined the button use JS
ls_button-on_client_click = 'javascript:window.open ("http://www.google.es","Google","width=750,height=600,resizable=yes");Google.focus()'.

Link Webi Report to External URL using URL contained in Dim Object

I am trying to create a link in my WebI report to an external URL which is stored in a Dimension object.
The object is simply a string format which contains a link to a Lotus Notes database
Example:
Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255
When I put the link into Internet Explorer I get the appropriate Lotus Notes databse, however, when trying the same in WebI using the following formula:
="<a href=[Notes url1] target='_blank'>Test</a>"
I get the following URL when clicking the link from InfoView
http://auyhoz04.an.orica.net:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/viewers/cdz_adv/[Notes%20url1]
If I hardcode the URL into WebI
="<a href='Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255' target='_blank'>Test</a>"
It works without a problem.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...is anyone able to help?

Nathan,
When you build a URL on the fly it requires a certain way to encapsulate everything. Here is another way for you to try it:
="<a href="+Char(34)+[Notes url1]+" target='_blank'>Test"+Char(34)+"</a>"
Plz note the use of Char(34) which generates a double-quote. This method should help you with getting a dynamic product delivered to your audience.
Thanks,
John

Url link to button

how to set a button to get website with target blank.

Linking is done in HTML, not CSS (with the exception of a link to a background picture)
So, if your navigation is a list, you'd have the following in your HTML:
<nav>
     <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="books.html">Books</a></li>
          <li><a href="http://www.myexternalwebsitelink.com/inboundfromotherwebsite.html">External Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
</nav>
Here, in the example above, I'm using the HTML5 <nav>, but that could be an HTML4 <div class="nav"> and you will see a link to an internal page on the same website server for Home, About, Books and Contact with "External Link" pointing to another website external to the one we're on.
Make sense?

How to add external URL link to SAP object (Purchase Order, Invoice, etc)

Hello,
Is there any function module /BAPI that allows me to add an external URL link to a existing Purchase Order
or Invoice document in R3 system?
I tried to debug the system but have not found no suitable function module for it.
I also analyzed the ABAP code of the small GUI window that allows to add a external URL link to
a Purchase Order, and found the function module SO_OBJECT_INSERT. However I could not debug
it (seems to be created with BOR objects) so I've no example for it.
Please help!

Link to external URL from flash site

Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash
site without having the flashplayer prompt you to change your
settings and allow access to that page? (this only applies to swfs
viewed through a browser)
the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you
have to put a small xml file on the host server where the page you
want to link to is located. i seriously doubt every site you want
to link to will allow you to put an xml file on their host server
just so you can link to their page. the code in the xml file just
tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access is safe.
it's called crossdomain.xml
anyone have an answer?
thanks!

no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.
