PK53085: EXTRA '/' AT END OF URL WHEN RENDERED FROM HTMLCMPNT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Extra '/' at end of URL when rendered from HTMLCmpnt
  ..
  When an html html component is rendered an extra / is
  added to the end.  The problem is that the links within
  the component are getting an extra / added to the end
  during rendering.
  .
  For example in the below "/XYZ/media centre/" would
  end up as "/XYZ/media centre//" when rendered.
  ..
  This issue was the result of changes made in APAR PK44516.
  .
  The error is that WCM adds a slash ('/') at the end of
  the URL, and the above design causes the URL to end
  with two slashes..  Prior to installing PK44516, there
  was no final slash in the rendered URL.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  Try removing the slash at the end of your links within
  the design of components such as an HTMLCmpnt.
  Apply fix when available.
  

Problem summary

• Problem Summary:  Extra '/' at end of URL when rendered from
  HTMLCmpnt.
  
  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  The design for an HTML component refers to a link component
  which refers to a Site or Site Area.  Here is some HTML as an
  example:
  
  <a href='<Component name="linkComponent" format="url"/>/'>Link
  from HTML Component</a>
  
  If linkComponent is linked to a Site with the path
  /myLibrary/mySite, the URL rendered by the above design and tag
  usage will end with /myLibrary/mySite//.
  
  The error is that WCM adds a slash ('/') at the end of the URL,
  and the above design causes the URL to end with two slashes..
  Prior to installing PK44516, there was no final slash in the
  rendered URL.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  Changes delivered via PK44516 changed the way the path to a WCM
  item is rendered causing the URL to have a trailing slash.  This
  behavior can cause problems for customers that put a slash at
  the end of their links within the design of components such as
  an HTMLCmpnt.
  
  Failing Module: WCM - Web Content Management (General)
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  Eliminate the trailing slash when WCM renders an item's path.

  You will need to cut/paste the entire URL into a browser to
  resolve the address.
