[Building Sakai] Open tool from tool

[Tania Tritean]

Hello,

Thanks for reply.

My problem is that id don't want to reload only the iframe, but also the portal tabs and nav menu(because maybe I changed the site and the tool, so I want the tabs and active tool to be updated for consistancy)

Can I notify the portal to rerender with a specific context?
In this way I can avoid the 'open in parent' thing.

Thanks

Tania

The tool URL you are generating is meant to be clicked on by a user.
In other words, it will cause the entire page to reload with the
complete portal context maintained and the specific page in the tool
loaded.

Example URL:
http://server:port/portal/site/siteId/page/pageId?toolstate-toolpid=/view?thing=value

from:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/entitybroker/trunk/api/src/java/org/sakaiproject/entitybroker/DeveloperHelperService.java

If you are only trying to refresh the iframe then you do not need the
complete tool view url.
