Navigation Model - Type External URL

Question

Greetings everybody,
In my default naviagtion model, I have added a new node with id 'test' and of type 'External Link'.
Following is the code snippet.
<url factoryClass="oracle.webcenter.portalframework.sitestructure.rc.UrlResourceFactory"
id="test" visible="#{true}" url="#{portalUtil.commonview}" >
<attributes>
<attribute isKey="false" attributeId="Title" value="common view"/>
<attribute isKey="false" attributeId="Redirect" value="true"/>
<attribute isKey="false" attributeId="ExternalId" value="commonview"/>
</attributes>
</url>
While running the application it give the following message.
<FolderContext> <processInvalidElement()> Element [test] of resource catalog [default-navigation-model] has been excluded from the catalog due to error [Error resolving EL expression [#{portalUtil.commonview}] Root Cause=[]].
For some reason it not accepting the url="#{portalUtil.commonview}" where "portalUtil" is my custome class with property "commonview".
Is there anything worng or missing, please suggest.

So the URL depends on the environment and does not change on the environment itself?
If you change the navigation model on each environment than those changes are stored on the MDS so it will stay on that environment. I believe this is the best solution. Just edit the nav model at runtime for each environment.
