LDN - Luminis Developer Network

OK, attending the Luminis Lounge at Summit was fantastic. It was great meeting people
and exchanging ideas ... and while I'm still motivated, I'll post at least a few things
people asked about and here's number one: the redirect.jsp page

You all know Luminis creates these extremely long URLs like this:

http://portal.yourschool.edu/cp/render.UserLayoutRootNode.uP?uP_tparam=utf&utf=
http%3A%2F%2Fportal.yourschool.edu%2Fcp%2Fip%2Flogin%3F%26sys%3Dsct%26url%3D
https%253A%252F%252Fssb.yourschool.edu%252Fbanner%252Fplsql%252Fbwgksrvy.
P_ShowSurveys

That will SSO you into Banner Self Service's survey page - we use Banner for course surveys
- as well as frame it. We created a simple simple JSP that takes one argument and uses
that to redirect to those crazy links:

http://portal.yourschool.edu/cp/redirect.jsp?id=survey

Here's the code snippet:

  String HOUSING = "housing";
  String SURVEY = "survey";
  String sUrl = "";
  String id = request.getParameter("id");
  if (null == id)
     id = "NONE";

  if (id.equalsIgnoreCase(SURVEY)) {
      sUrl = "http://portal.yourschool.edu/cp/render.UserLayoutRootNode.uP?uP_tparam=utf&utf=http%3A%2F%2Fportal.yourschool.edu%2Fcp%2Fip%2Flogin%3F%26sys%3Dsct%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fssb.yourschool.edu%252Fbanner%252Fplsql%252Fbwgksrvy.P_ShowSurveys";
  } else if (id.equalsIgnoreCase(HOUSING)) {
      sUrl = "http://portal.yourschool.edu/cp/render.UserLayoutRootNode.uP?uP_tparam=utf&utf=http%3A%2F%2Fportal.yourschool.edu%2Fcp%2Fip%2Flogin%3F%26sys%3Dsct%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fssb.yourschool.edu%252Fbanner%252Fplsql%252Fhwwksint.P_OnlineDormRegistration";
  }

 if (sUrl.length() < 1) {
    /*  Give some error message here */
  } else {
    /* Do some type of redirection here.    
     *
     * We use a JavaScript onLoad redirect, with message
     * to click if the page does not refresh.
     */

 }
