You're on the right track by using an External link. Make sure your page implements IExternalPage.
We do something similar with one page that we wanted to be "bookmarkable" and the URL Format is quite similar to what you're trying. You'll still have to workaround problems of interdependency between apps if the URL format changes on a different version of Tapestry, and this doesn't account for authentication/security measures, but it's a start. </bd> -----Original Message----- From: Valdemaras Repšys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 5:27 AM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: external link to a tapestry page Thanks for the answer, Aleksej. The problem is, this URL must be generated on a java thread (or class) that is not an instance of BasePage and is not a tapestry page. That means i have no access to ExternalService, right? Also, I can't use @Any component because this url will be sent as an email to the user (as a simple text).
