Description

The decorator for tigris displays "Additional Links" by calling JetspeedPowerTools.getAbsoluteUrl(...). This method call creates URLs assuming the argument is a relative URLs. Resolution: a) don't call getAbsoluteUrl(...) but print the links without modifying them. b) Modify getAbsoluteUrl(...) to check and do not modify any URLs that are already absolute.
Question: what is the purpose of getAbsoluteUrl(...) at all?
