[jira] Commented: (FOR-762) Default page URL for breadcrumbs and site: links

["David Crossley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-762?page=comments#action_12371935 ] 

David Crossley commented on FOR-762:
------------------------------------

It is sometimes necessary to link to a directory listing on a static website.

In my sites, i always have an entry in the site.xml for each "index.html" file or other file that serves that purpose. Sometimes there is no @label attribute if it is not wanted in the menu. I never link to the directory listing unless that is what is intended. This enables everything to work for me in both 'forrest' and 'forrest run' modes. So is this aspect just a user/documentation issue?

The breadcrumbs issue does remain however.

> When employing breadcrumbs,
> example generated links:  home > dir > subdir
> if the user is in node subdir, then clicks dir,
> cocoon returns "The requested resource "/dir /" could not be found.
> The link's absolute path during testing is http://localhost:8888/dir/
> Case 1. If you place an index.html file under http://localhost:8888/dir/ for a redirect or viewable content,
> clicking on breadcrumbs'  dir link throws the error.
> Case 2. If you manually enter the index.html in the browser path after http://localhost:8888/dir/, the request is handled.
> Case 3. If sitemap has match="dir/index.html", cocoon still isn't happy with request dir/
> Cocoon does not appear to assume the end node directory is index.* and thus appends no file automatically as tomcat or the http server does so it must be manually done.
