HTML Report URLs

[MikeSmith37]

Hi,

We're using HTML report generation but are not able to setup references with a guid.

Is the format correct:

http://localhost:8180/generate/index.htm?guid=D7867C16-C6E9-4e0c-A191-742B1D19B5C6

We are using EA 7.1.834, report is served up on Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 (testing on Win XP, live target will be RH linux).

Thanks in advance,
Mike S.

Your format looks correct. Here's one of mine that works (machine address masked):

http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/10771/index.htm?guid=F62F9776-58DA-4d0b-9B69-0A69AB7DA0E8

Thanks Dorian. I just tried this on another server (plain Apache server this time) and I was able to get it to work.

A minor enhancement request - would it be possible to get the LH navigator to reflect the selected diagram/object (when a guid reference is passed).

At the moment the navigator just stays at the default location which loses useful context for the browsing user.

Yes I host mine on Apache too.

One problem I've encountered is switching to a Linux platform...

Resources should be browsable with the following style URLs:

http://host/model/index.htm?guid=34FF55FC-E42C-4f10-84AE-288F19C1DE38

However, the application generates a secondary URL which is illegal on a linux system (case sensitive):

The requested URL /model/EARoot/ea1/ea13.htm was not found on this server.

The files does exist under the requested URL /model/EARoot/EA1/EA13.htm

I tried renaming all files to lower case, but there are some dependencies on upper case files (other internal links), so the site remains broken.

Would it be possible to get a patch fix for this problem (perhaps a mod to one of the standard files in the web application)?
