Setting the Path for the Link to Meeting Space Details in Email Notifications

The following email link needs to be set when deploying meeting space reservations. You must set this link whether or not you are using the Archibus Plugin for Microsoft Outlook.

Setting this link is not required when you are deploying Reservations with the Archibus Extension for Microsoft Exchange .

When the application sends email notification for reservations, the email includes a link to the reservation's details. The path for the link is determined by the absoluteAppPath preference set in the afm-config.xml file. The EventHandlerBase.getWebCentralPath(context) builds the URL from this property.

By default, this property is set to :

absoluteAppPath="http://localhost:8080/#Attribute%//@webAppDirectory%"”

absoluteAppPath="http://localhost:8080/#Attribute%//@webAppDirectory%"”

To change this to reflect the location for your deployment, update the following to match the location where Web Central is running.

absoluteAppPath preference in /WEB-INF/config/context/compatibility/afm-config.xml

Note: The insertion of the reservation ID as a link to the details for the reservation is supported only when you work from the Plugin. That is to say: if you create the meeting, and change it from the Plugin, the link is inserted and shown in the email. Similarly, if you create the meeting from Web Central, but later change it from the Plugin, the link is inserted and shown. However, if you create the meeting from Web Central, and change it from Web Central, the link won't be inserted in the email.
