get internal url from resource as link

[Former Member]

Hi

I am using the KM API where I try to get the url to an internal link.

myResource.getTargetURL();

myResou.

I am not sure what method should retrieve the URL.

Any help would be appreciated.

No real solution until now!!!

Yes, getTargetURL() gives u the url.

getTargetURL
public URL getTargetURL()
                 throws ResourceExceptionReturns 
the target URL of a link or null if the resource is not a link. 

Returns:
the target URL of a link or null if the resource is not a link. 
Throws: 
ResourceException

Check this JavaDocs for [IResource|https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04s/current/km/com/sapportals/wcm/repository/IResource.html]

You will have do myResource.getProperty(<enter the name>); then retrive the value. I think the property would be access url.

In that case the resource isn't a link. Or you found a bug.

I am quite sure it is a link, first because it is of LinkType.Internal and second because

when we press this link in portal Favorites it we are being transferred to the corresponding

Iview

Hi

Can u paste the full code of the method u r using?

Also, just try to print the RID of the

myResource

.

I think

myResource

in ur case is really the target resource.

Please get back with code and the outcome of what i have suggested

1. First, RID of my resource retrieves the path to it userhome/userID/Favorites/nameOfmyLink

2. Code:

ICollection collection = (ICollection) myResource;

IResourceList list = collection.getChildren();

IResourceListIterator iter = list.listIterator();

While(iter.hasNext())

{

com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource doc = ( com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource ) iter.next();

doc.getTargetURL(): // not working

IURLGENERATORService ugs =

(IURLGeneratorService) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory(0.getService(

IServiceTypesConst.URLGENERATOR_SERVICE);

uniRef = ugs.getRelativeUri(PathKey.Content_Access_Path).appendPath(doc.getRID().ToExternalForm());

etc

Thank you for your support!!

Hi

In ur code...

While(iter.hasNext())
{
com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource doc = 
( com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IResource ) iter.next();
*doc.getRID();*
}

What would doc.getRID() print?

In your loop, just print out

- classname of IResouce instance (resource.getClass().getName()),

- link type,

- RID, and

- targetURL

and let us see the results.

I already did all that.

Nothing brings in the exact url.

All you get is the path up to the name of document, nothing more.

Whereas in reality the path is very long and contains a mixture of alphanumeric characters

Please do it and post the results here.

Julian hi

I think I know why I am getting null when I run iresource.getTargetURL().

I discovered that the LinkType of my resource is LinkType.NONE.

It very strange, isn't it??

The class of my resource is :

com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.cm.Node.

It's not strange at all. It means that the resource is not a link.

Hi Julian

Very strange, then.

If I press this resouce in Favorites I get redirected to the page I added to my favorites.

I also tried to see if this resource has a collection under it. I got none.

Moreover when I studies the KM I saw this link is of 0 bytes i.e it holds nothing in it.

I tend to say that this is not a linktourl but a linktoaction. Once pressed the method behinds it goes to the PCD searches for this name and retrieves the url from there.....

But this is only a wild guess....

By the way can you check if your links arte of any size?

Thank you for yr support.!!!

KM links do not have content, thus their size is 0.

It appears that the resources you are looking at aren't proper KM links, but something else.

How do I find out, through WDP, what they are???

I don't know what WDP is, so I can't tell you.
