Re: EGL forward with new page

[Jason Abreu <abreuj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, for some reason I completely forgot about the JSF outputLink 
object; must have been the fog lingering from the holidays, lol.

I'm a pretty savy Java web programmer, so I'm very aware of what EGL 
becomes in the background and how to access it.  I'm in a COBOL shop, so 
it was management's choice to try out EGL so the COBOL programmers could 
have an easier time maintaining the project.

I'll use the outputLink and dynamically build the url to pass a few 
parameters in a query string.

Thanks!
