Re: [pfc-users] question on resource servlet

[Bavo De R. <ba...@co...>]

Hi,

I have added support for this to PFC. Whenever you have a getResourceURL 
method, there is a corresponding getDownloadURL method. You can use that to 
generate "<a href=..." html. The getDownloadURL takes an extra parameter: the 
filename. This is the proposed filename the browser can use in the Save 
As ... dialog. 

All the online resources are updated on http://pfc.coderspotting.org/:

You can find the new release at 
http://pfc.coderspotting.org/dev/dsp_release.html

The new javadoc is at http://pfc.sourceforge.net/javadoc/ and is also included 
in the release file.

Classes of interest that have changed are:

portal.core.render.HtmlGraphics
portal.core.render.IVelocityPageContext

For an example of generating inline download urls for resources managed by the 
ResourceService, you might also check out the velocity template at:

src/resources/portal/demo/controls/ControlsDemoPanel.vm

If there is anything not working as expected or just unclear, do not hesitate 
to ask!

Greets,


Bavo
