This channel is running (or trying to run) your local Tomcat servlet examples. It assumes the URL is http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/index.html. Note that localhost refers to the host your uPortal instance is running on, not the machine your browser is on. Because of this, images will not be found. You should change localhost to the host of the machine that your uPortal instance is running on (data.xml).
The channel uses CWebProxy to incorporate the servlets. CWebProxy is invoked with the following parameters:
Name | Value |
cw_xml | http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/index.html |
cw_ssl | webpages/stylesheets/org/jasig/portal/channels/CWebProxy/XHTML.ssl |
cw_info | examples/servlet_info.html |
cw_help | examples/servlet_help.html |
cw_edit | examples/servlet_edit.html |
cw_passThrough | application |
cw_tidy | on |
This help page is a static html page on a remote server, with the URL indicated by the cw_help parameter. CWebProxy replaces the application with this URL when you click on the help button, so we need to aim you back to the original application when you're done with help. This is done by using a special runtime parameter cw_reset with a value of return. It could also be done by setting cw_xml to point back to the original application.
Note that if the cw_xmlURL gets set to something that doesn't work, there's currently no way for CWebProxy to return to the application.
