SimpleLink control.
-------------------
Key: CLK-543
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-543
Project: Click
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: extras
Reporter: Adrian A.
There doesn't seem to be any "simple link" control in Click to be able to
point to an arbitrary URL (internal but external too).
There's now the ExternalLink but it's just too specific :( - extending it would
conflict with it's name (maybe a rename would be better).
In many cases there's no distinction in the application between an internal an
external URL (e.g. because the external might be a subdomain).
Another problem is that AbstractLink is can't be used directly for these simple
cases (being abstract).
Basically a SimpleLink code would look like ExternalLink, but it would have
this additional snippet after L:106:
<code>
String ctxPath = getContext().getRequest().getContextPath();
if(!getTargetPath().contains("://")) {
buffer.append(ctxPath);
}
</code>
This would allow to use only one control, and in the application logic,
depending on the target, to let the control itself render the required context
path if needed.
Thank you,
A.
