Background documentationQuick Links Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The portal enables users to navigate to a specific node by entering the portal's base address followed by a short string, or quick link.

For nodes defined by the roles connector, a portal administrator can assign quick links to a node by setting the Quick Link property of the iView or page associated with the node.

For nodes defined by a custom navigation connector, the connector must implement the method getNodeByQuickLink(), which determines what node to return for a specific quick link. For example, you can keep a Map of quick link strings and its corresponding node.

The following is the signature for getNodeByQuickLink():

  1. public NamingEnumeration getNodeByQuickLink(
            Hashtable environment, String quickLink);
End of the code.

Quick links must be composed of only URI unreserved characters, which are letters, digits, hyphen (—), period (.), underscore (_) and tilde (~).
