David,

issue was worth raising.

Ok, but I thought this issue would stand on its own - is there a reason why the control path should be added to the url if the fullPath parameter is true? Either I don't understand the call structure for makeLink or anyone who tries to use it with fullPath set to true will not get the expected As for my application, I am using it in the content management sense, and the the "<content...>" tag (under certain conditions) creates an iframe in the HTML that needs to point to the "/content/control/ ViewSimpleContent" request and I am in the ecommerce app. So I figured I could use the makeLink call to create the correct url. I know that the "<link...>" tag does the same sort of thing, but it does not use makeLink in this way and this seemed like the way that makeLink should work. I thought about it and figured it is easier to just add the request to ecommerce, but thought the makeLink

Do you mean in the screen widget? You can just use the link tag with the "inter-app" url-mode. I think I like this other way better though, ie adding a request-map in the ecommerce controller.xml file so it doesn't have to rely on that request in the content app.

Thanks for your help.

Al,

Could you step back and describe a little more of what you are trying
to do, the code you are using, etc? You did a good job here of
explaining what happened but not really what you did or expected to
happen.

In general if you are linking to another application, you don't use
the ofbizUrl tag or any of the code behind it, like the makeLink
method. There are a number of examples of this if you look around.
