CCP File Menu and VPATH

Is it possible to add a menu item under the file menus that when the link is selected contain the current vpath?

I saw this in the UICG: The addPropertiesToUrl attribute, when set to false, specifies that the vpaths normally
supplied as parameters to the url (as described in the next section) should not be sent. The
default value is true, so this attribute can be omitted when these parameters are desired.

But when I created the following in my ui.custom. It just displays the link and not the vpath.

<action-list id="iw.ccpro.filesys.menubar">
<menu id="iw.ccpro.custom.menu" label="foo">
<link id="show.report.link"
label="foo"
description="foo bar"
url="/iw-bin/foobar.ipl"
windowFeatures="width=640,height=570,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,titlebar=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,center=true,dependent=false"
target="_blank"
operationID="show.report.op">
</link>

I even tried it with including the addPropertiesToUrl and that did not work either.

David,

They are talking about CGI call parameters to your URL.
They use Form "Post" method, so it's not visible in URL itself

You can get it in the script by parsing CGI Data but I'm sure you know that

Bummer then... what I'm trying to do is overcome the issue with the normal submit from CCP by replacing that with the CCStd submit call. It will work and do what i need, but the CCStd needs the vpath passed in.

Sorry I wasn't clear before, but I don't need it for the label, but for the actual url.

On the ccpro gui most do not pass in the vpath via the url. The properties does, and commands on files.

So I may have to create a stub jsp that I can call that gets me the arguments and then passes the vpath to the submit from CCStd.

Thanks

We had this exact problem with the new edition command. We wrapped the call inside of a servlet where we were able to pull in the necessary parameters to make the call work.

can't post the servlet can you ;-)

Alternatively, you can parse Form's CGI in your script, build any URL you need
and generate / return the (fluff) Page which only purpose in life is immediately
redirect to that URL. Something like that:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=myURL; charset=UTF-8"/>
</head>
...
</html>
