How to have nice url's

hi there
currently the url's on our site look like this
www.outsite.com/some_page.cfm?var=1234&another-var=56787
but we want url's like this www.oursite.com/something/else
is this called mod rewriting?
is this possible to do in CF?
or does this require something to be installed on our server?
we're running CF8 on a windows server
thanks very much indeed for any info you can provide, even if
it's just a link to livedocs somewhere!
cheers

Yes, this would be mod-rewrite if you were running Apache. In
a Windows environment you will want to look at ISAPI rewrite.
You can (sort of) do this at the CF level. Look at this post
from Ray Camden for some clues:

How to show a nice URL in Browser URL navigator?

How to show a nice URL in Browser URL navigator?
Hello
Arquitecture:
Internet --- Machine1 (Apache like Proxy Reverse and rewrite) --- MAchine2 (GLASSFISH-APEX LISTENER 2.0.1) --- DATABASE
That application will be like a directory of products, we need a nice indexation inside google, yahoo, etc...
We want to build an application with APEX, with a nice custom URL. like http:\\domain\pagina1\pagina2\pagina3
Limitations:
* We can not use frame
Actually, We obtained that when we write in a browsers URL domain "the domain" redirect to "http://domain/apex/f?p=600", and that appear in "browser url" but we want to know if is posible to change that without use frames.
Thanks.

Interesting Morten states that "You can use Apache with mod_rewrite to set up mapping between REST-style URLs to your Apex pages...", I've seen no working examples of how to do this with Apache because mod_rewrite is very limited in it's ability to process the query string part of the URL, with all the APEX stuff we need to refer to.
Morten if you are reading this, what's the secret man?

How to manage a "nice" url if APEX uses web pl/sql and not Apache?

Hi all,
How can I create a pretty url without using redirects or frames since APEX is using web pl/sql and not Apache? This is on version 4.0.1. We want the users to access the Apex App from a nice url without the traditional long url.
Thanks,
Veena.

How to have ItemId in the URL in JSF based application

I have a JSF based application and I am using faces-config.xml to navigate and I am using /redirect to navigate form case to case.
The application lists products and upon selecting one, a product detail is displayed. I would like to have productId as part of the page URL so that URL can be emailed and the receiver can paste the received URL into browser and retrieve the product detail.
Currently the URL is not rewritten to have session id in it.
I am not ever sure where to start on this.

Is this line correct?
<value>#{param.productId}</value>
Try it out yourself ;)
This is clear and helpful. However I don't know how
to create this URL
(http://example.com/shop/products.jsf?productId=100)
in the first place. The URL I have is in the form of
http://example.com/shop/products.faces.
Is adding '?productId=100' to the URL something
configurable or it has to be done programmatically
via URL rewriting?You can implement it in several ways:
JSF<h:outputLink value="products.faces">
    <h:outputText value="click here" />
    <f:param name="productId" value="100" />
</h:outputLink>
<%-- or --%>
<h:outputLink value="products.faces?productId=100">
    <h:outputText value="click here" />
</h:outputLink>Or write a servlet listening on /shop/, scan the current request URI for product.faces, get the productId from the backing bean's session and rewrite the URL using request.getRequestDispatcher("product.faces?productId=" + productId).forward(request, response).
Maybe there are more clever solutions using configfiles, but I don't have much experience (yet) with such GET request thingies in conjunction with JSF.

How to track the URL that comes from a referred page using XSQL Custom Handler

Hi,
I have a cold fusion page(say cf.cfm) that sent a request to xsql page(say test.xsql) and then xsql page displays results. I want to capure the URL of cf.cfm page and then after checking its host name and path name for correctness then want to display the test.xsql results.
Please let me know how can I capture URL of the refered page(cf.cfm) in the Custom Handler and then I want to extract host-name and path-name out of that url and on the basis of their values I want to display the result of XSQL page(test.xsql).
Regards

req.getHeader("Referer") will return the referring url

How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

Hi All,
I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
My usecase for this is the following:
We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
Best regards,
Mihail Daskalov

How to use one URL for several Oracle AS?

Hi folks,
how do I use one URL to access several application servers (i.e. for different applications).
Example:
We have one URL:
www.test.com
In our DMZ, wie have three application servers and one web cache:
test1.intranet.com:7777
test2.intranet.com:7777
test3.intranet.com:7777
webcache.intranet.com:8000
One application server is no problem. In Web Cache, i just map site www.test.com:443 to AS test1.intranet.com:7777.
But what is the correct setting, to access all three Oracle AS over one URL? I tried URL PATH Prefix. Then i am able to access all three Oracle AS, but the application server does not know the Path.
Example for mapping:
www.test.com:443/server2 -> test2.intranet.com:7777
When I access www.test.com:443/server2, I get redirected to the correct AS (test2.intranet.com:7777), but the Oracle AS does not know the path /server2.
How do I have to configure the Oracle AS?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

I setted up a proxy and at first glance,
it works fine. The problem are internal links. Some links redirect to the
machine name, which is of course not accessible from outside our dmz.
My httpd.conf entries:
ProxyPass /test1infra/ http://test1.intranet.com:7777/
ProxyPassReverse /test1infra/ http://test1.intranet.com:7777/
ProxyPass /test1mid/ http://test1.intranet.com:7778/
ProxyPassReverse /test1mid/ http://test1.intranet.com:7778/
When I now access (for example) www.test.com/test1infra/pls/orasso I get
redirected to www.test.com/pls/orasso, which is another Oracle AS!
How can I prevent my OracleAS doing this? It has to "know" that all its internal urls need a url path prefix.

Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.

How to assign a URL in the Tabular Form

Hi,
I am using the htmldb.item api's to create manually,the Tabular form. I have got a column in the database(View) like
''||substr(DESCRIPTION,1,30)||decode(substr(DESCRIPTION,30,1),null,null,'...')||'' DESCRIPTION,
which displays as a URL and when the user clicks this URL, the page will have a popup page(in this case it is redirected to page 52).
My probelm is , if I use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save for this column, I dont see the URL, but it displays the above entire string (along with the HTML tags).
If I do not use wwv_flow_item.display_and_save, I can not use this item in the COllections as I am using the some validations to display an Error message (Inline with field and in Notification)
I cannot display the Validation error in the - On Error Page as I should prevent the user to use the browser buttons
Please let me know how to display the URL and to have this information in the Collection
TIA
Ravi

Ravi,
Can you fetch the column twice, once into a non-escaped display type that does not generate a form item and again into a hidden item for your collection?

How to know that URL is currenty open into other Group Tab feature ?

Hello Firefox team,
I use a group tab features (CTRL+SHIFT+E) and I have open many URLs in many group tab's. This URLs are on one domain because I work on one SupportTeam website and all cases/tickets have different URLs.
I don't know that I open a duplication tab (cases/ticket) who is open in other tab or on tab in other group tab.
How to know that URL whom I open is a duplication?.
Best Regards
Marcin Przysowa

I upgrade FF to 10.0 version. The situation is the same.
For me some information bar is perfect like:
This URL is open in $grouptab_name.
By click into that hint I should be jump to older tab in $grouptab_name.

How do you harness URL external application in a JSP?

I have successfully deployed the Yahoo Finance sample URL External Application. However, I do not understand how to utilize the URL classes (in the pdkjava.jar) to harness the external application information once a user has authenticated. I am building a JSP portlet that displays and applet, however the applet requires a username and password. I need to get the Username and Password from external application, which it gets from the user via External Application. How do I get these values in my JSP (that is defined in my provider.xml)? I keep seeing documentation regarding the ExternalPrincipal object however I don't understand how to utilize this object in my JSP. I beleive the ExternalPrincipal object is what I need in my JSP, seeing that it has the methods for getting the user and password. Unless is there a better way of achieving this, can anyone shed some light on getting the ExternalPrincipal object for an External Application session?
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

Thanks for the example. I have a better understanding now, however I'm still having trying to comprehend the flow of executing in this portal model.
I have a problem with:
PortletRenderRequest pr = (PortletRenderRequest) request.getAttribute("oracle.portal.PortletRenderRequest");
ProviderUser prUser = pr.getUser();
ProviderSession pSession = prUser.getSession(true);
I get a NullPointerException on the second line when trying to getUser(). I'm not sure where the problem could be. In the provider.xml, my ExternalProviderInstance, or the JSP itself? I have another JSP portlet on the same page that calls the same method with success.
Thanks,

HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE URL WITH INTRADOCUMENT LINKS (#...)?

I have a url and i want to access or construct the full URL in jsp without losing the # links in the url. If I make a call to the URL lets say using the below mentioned way. when I issue the request.get... Methods to construct the URL inside the JSP page the #doclink were lost. The issue I have is people who have bookmarked a page like this should be automatically taken to that part of the document where the intra document link is define (or book mark link) using anchor tag.
Is there any method or technique available to get the full url including the #doclink
http://www.blahblah.com/blah.jsp?pg=/path/otherpath/blah.html#doclink
is there a way to do it.
You help in this regard will be greatly appreciated
Thanks.

Hey thanks for your reply, I want how can I retain the #doclink in a JSP page without losing it when someone types something like the below mentioned in the browser address bar. If they have bookmarked it this way, this is the way the browser is going to make the request.
http://www.blahblah.com/blah.jsp?pg=/path/otherpath/blah.html#doclink
So, inside the JSP page, getRequestURL, getRequestURI, and getQueryString, helps me reconstruct the URL but the #doclink gets missed. I can use the URLEncoding when it's inside the HREF or something, but when called from a browser the above way, I cant do anything really.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
