Tersus: Re: referrer

Re: referrerDate: Dec 24, 2009Get Session Attributes is a server side plug-in, and according to your description, it is executed after the view has already loaded, which means it's referrer is indeed the view.What you really want is to catch the initial referal to your application which causes the view to load in the first place. For that you'll need to implement a <Welcome> callable service. When an application includes a <Welcome> callable service in its root system, it is automatically executed when the initial request to the application is received. The callable service should return (at a minimum) the html code for the application page, and in addition can implement other processing (such as finding out the referrer).The attached demo:

Referrer Demo.tersus demonstrates this. It includes the following:

A <Welcome> process, which includes the Get Default Welcome Page (you can treat this process as a black box which returns the default welcome page (the page which would have been shown by default if a <Welcome> process was not included), and the referrer stored in a cookie of the same name.

A View which on init displays the content of the Referrer cookie.

To test this demo:

Iimport it into your studio and launch it.

Implement an hyperlink (<a href> tag) in another page (preferably in another application or server) which should look similar to the following:
<a href="http://localhost:8080/Referrer%20Demo/">Goto Referrer Demo</a>

Launch the page with the a href and click the link to see the referrer appear
