Updating the view and pattern names in the wcf:url tags of the storefront JSPs

In this lesson, you update the SEO pattern names in the URL construction tags wcf:url for the smartphone and tablet starter stores to use the pattern names for the Aurora starter store as defined in the previous lesson. The corresponding hyperlinks on the corresponding storefront JSPs will reflect the new SEO URLs. For more information about SEO URL construction, see SEO-friendly URL construction overview.

About this task

Note:

  • Feature Pack 2WebSphere Commerce Version 7.0.0.0Feature Pack 1You must update the value attribute of the wcf:url tag accordingly.

    1. In Enterprise Explorer, navigate to the file paths in the table and open the JSP files. Switch to Source view.
    2. Search for wcf:url tags with patternName="TabletHomeURL". For each occurrence in the file, replace with patternName="HomePageURLWithLang".
      Note: In the <wcf:url> tags, you might notice that in addition to the patternName attribute, the value attribute may contain a tablet-specific view name. This value is used if the SEO pattern is unavailable or if the SEO feature is not enabled. For this tutorial, it is not essential that these values be updated.
    3. Save and close the file.
  2. Replace TabletCategoryURLWParentCategory with CategoryURL in the JSP files that are listed in the following table and add an additional <wcf:param> for the top category.

    3. In each of the JSP files, locate the following code block:
      <wcf:url var="SubcategoryURL" patternName="CategoryURL" value="tCategoriesDisplayView">
    <wcf:param name="storeId" value="${storeId}"/>
    <wcf:param name="catalogId" value="${catalogId}"/>
		 <wcf:param name="langId" value="${langId}"/>
		 <wcf:param name="categoryId" value="${subcategory.categoryId}"/>
		 <wcf:param name="parent_category_rn" value="${topCategory.categoryId}"/>
</wcf:url>
    4. An additional parameter for the top category is required to generate the SEO URL using the CategoryURL pattern. Add the following <wcf:param> parameter to the <wcf:url> element:
      <wcf:param name="top_category" value="${topCategory.categoryId}"/>

      The updated code block should resemble the following code block:

      <wcf:url var="SubcategoryURL" patternName="CategoryURL" value="tCategoriesDisplayView">
    <wcf:param name="storeId" value="${storeId}"/>
    <wcf:param name="catalogId" value="${catalogId}"/>
