This section describes how the request URL is constructed.

Note

The format of portal URLs may change. Therefore, to create a URL, use the Portal Runtime API, as described in Creating Request URLs .

The following is a sample URL, which is relevant when using the standard portal connection.

A portal request URL generally contains the following parameters:

  • Web Application ( irj ): The name of the Java EE Web application that contains the Portal Runtime.

  • Servlet Name ( prt ): The name of the servlet that handles the request. This is the dispatcher servlet.

  • Connection ( portal ): The connection for this request. The default connection for Portal Runtime applications is portal . There are special connection objects (for example, for WSRP or Knowledge Management requests).

  • Root Component ( prtroot ): The root component that is being requested.

  • Mode ( prtmode ): The mode of the request.

  • Request Event ( prteventname ): The name of a request event to be fired for this request.

  • Request Event Target ( prttarget ): The node in the POM that receives the request event.

The web application, servlet and connection parameters are single values (with the standard value shown in parentheses).

The root component, mode, request event and target parameters are key-value pairs (with the key shown in parentheses).
