Interface ContextForward

All Known Implementing Classes:
ContextForwardGBean

public interface ContextForward

Interface for a GBean that describes a context forward (that is, a certain URL pattern in the console should be forwarded to a similar URL in one of the portlet web applications without requiring a separate login). This is managed by a single servlet in the portal web app (say, mapped to /forwards/*). Therefore each ContextForward must specify three pieces of information -- the prefix under the portal servlet that should be forwarded, the context to forward to, and the path to forward to within the context. For example, if it specified "myimages/", "myportlet", and "images" then a request to /console/forwards/myimages/foo.png would be forwarded to /myportlet/images/foo.png
