JR54450: Static content page URLs from the auto suggest menu or from the Advanced search page leads to an error page

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Static content page URLs are not completely formed in the auto
  suggest menu.
  
  By default, static content pages are crawled and when a shopper
  clicks the URL from the the auto suggest menu or from the
  Advanced search page, the context root ('/webapp/wcs/stores') is
   missing in the URL.
  
  This issue occurs when you enable useRelativePath="true" in the
  server configuration file (wc-server.xml).
  For example: <UrlTagConfiguration useRelativePath="true" />
  

Local fix

• Modifythe SiteContentList_UI.jspf file and find this piece of
  code:
  <c:if test="${!(fn:startsWith(urlValue, '/') ||
  fn:contains(urlValue, '://'))}">
   <wcf:url var="urlValue" value="${urlValue}"/>
  </c:if>
  
  Replace with:
         <c:choose>
  <c:when test="${fn:contains(urlValue, '://')}">
        <wcf:url var="urlValue" value="${urlValue}"/>
  </c:when>
          <c:when test="${!(fn:startsWith(urlValue, '/'))}">
  <wcf:url var="urlValue" value="/${urlValue}"/>
  </c:when>
  </c:choose>
  

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce V7 environments with 'useRelativePath'

  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Static content page URLs from the auto suggest menu or from the
  Advanced search page leads to an error page
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
