Long Jetspeed URLs - problems with mobile devices

[Sven Thiergen <s....@itcampus.de>]

Hello,

has anyone experienced problems using Jetspeed on his mobile device
(straight internet connection, surfing a Portal build upon Jetspeed).

We have users complaining about links which just reload the page instead of
doing the appropriate action (e.g. linking to another site). This only
happens on mobiles and it happens with certain browsers (some preinstalled
stuff; a later installed Opera version did work fine).

Now we think that the reason is due to the quite long Jetspeed URLs; which
some slim handy software cannot distuingish: Let's say it distinguishes URL
comparing the first 128 characters, but the first difference comes at a
later position.

Can anyone comment on this, or did have similar problems?


Thank you for any help,
Sven Thiergen.

The only problem I've had (with BlackBerry over pseudo-WAP) is that my users
were unable to log-in due to the long field names used for Jetspeed's
default log-in page ... "org.apache.jetspeed.login.username" .... I had to
shorten that field name (and all references in Servlets and
LoginConstants.java) to a reasonable length in order to enable mobile login.
Other than that, I've not had any problems.
