Simple way to create a link inside a component.

[Tarun Ramakrishna Elankath <ta...@webkadai.com>]

Hi all,

How can I generate (in java), a link to a page along with a query
parameter ? 

I have a need for a component to obtain in a programmatic way, the href
of a link to its containing page (along with some query parameters).
This component has _no use_ for a template. It extends AbstractComponent
instead of BaseComponent, and emits xml markup in the renderComponent()
method, using the IMarkupWrite parameter object. 

I don't unfortunately see any easy way to do this. Creating a DirectLink
object in java is very-very tedious, I need to implement loads of
methods in many abstract classes.

All help appreciated,
Tarun

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, in 2.4 one might suggest
calling getLink on the Page service rather than the Direct Service.

Oops I feel like a dud :-()WW

I guess its DirectService.getLink(IRequestCycle, IComponent, Object[]
params)

Need to try that out and hope I have it right.

And all this time, I was trying to create a DirectLink object, so as to
call getURL() on it!... AAARGH.!
