What is the URI to Provide Users a Link to Go Back to a Previouse Web Page?

[Daniel Gee]

I am using the Struts.

I am prepaing URIs so that previous web pages that
users have navigated though can be re-constructed and
displayed to users.

For example, one of the web pages has the below
showing in the address bar:

<a href="http://localhost:9080/tf/ntts/entity/editPersonEntity.do?cancelForwardName=cancelRFIForward&personID-2341&forwardName=rfiForward" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:9080/tf/ntts/entity/editPersonEntity.do?cancelForwardName=cancelRFIForward&personID-2341&forwardName=rfiForward</a>

The 'tf' is my web root when the application is
deployed. How do I specify the URI for this
particular web page? Is it

uri="/ntts/entity/editPersonEntity.do?cancelForwardName=cancelRFIForward&personID-2341&forwardName=rfiForward"

Thank you very much in advance.

An initial "/" in a URI means you are specifying the full URI including the web context root. In your case that means the URI would have to be:

uri="/rt/ntts/entity/editPersonEntity.do?cancelForwardName=cancelRFIForward&personID-2341&forwardName=rfiForward"

If you got to the current page by the user requesting:

http://localhost:9080/tf/index.jsp

This sets the current web context at /tf, meaning you could use a relative URI by leaving out the initial slash like this:

uri="ntts/entity/editPersonEntity.do?cancelForwardName=cancelRFIForward&personID-2341&forwardName=rfiForward"

Thanks a lot for your explanation. Things are working now.
