Notes

Thanks to Jesse Gallagher for pointing me in the direction of this one.

If you use Bootstrap themes, links tend to be basicLeafNodes with client-side URLs set via the href property to avoid unnecessary requests to the server to perform a partial refresh. After all, we want to change the URL, so why not just do so directly from the browser. But if you set href to e.g. "/newSnippet.xsp" and set the launch properties of the database to launch a specific page, e.g. "home.xsp", the starting URL in the browser may be ".nsf", it may be ".nsf/" or it may be ".nsf/home.xsp". This means "/newSnippet.xsp" means different things.

This Snippet sets the base URL so that "/newSnippet.xsp" in the basicLeafNode will always work.

<xp:this.resources>
	<xp:headTag tagName="base">
		<xp:this.attributes>
			<xp:parameter name="href"
				value="${facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/">
			</xp:parameter>
		</xp:this.attributes>
	</xp:headTag>
</xp:this.resources>
