Direct link stale session

[James Sherwood <js...@romulin.com>]

I am trying to make a confermation page where I email the user a link and
they click on it to confirm something.

I made it a directlink in the page and in the java I just pull in the
service paramater which is a long random string.

It all works fine as long as they have went to a page on the site already
but if they try to just click on the link it opens a new browser and gives a
stale link

Any ideas why or a different way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
James

And that will always be the case, it's the nature of a DirectLink. 
That's why you need to use an ExtermalLink. A direct link is always 
relative to an existing session, and if there isn't one, you'll get the 
exception. ExternalLink is specifically designed to be accessed 
"external" to the web app: from an email, a book mark, a search engine, 
another web page outside the web app, etc. What you're trying to do is 
precisely the sort of thing that ExternalLink is for.

I had the link correct, it worked fine as long as there was a session, its
when there was no session it gave a stale link.

I have the direct link set to statless as well(tried it both ways)

James, in your confirmation mail use an ExternalLink, with the
parameter(s) already encoded. You can either do this yourself (by
checking out how service parameters are handled, easy enough) or by
calling AbstractService.constructLink.
