External Links to Channels and tabs (v2.5)

There are several ideas and requirements that have been voiced about enabling external links that come into uPortal and "land" directly on a channel in focus mode or on a tab both in guest mode and as an authenticated user.

...

Links can then look like:
http://server/uPortal_path/Guest?uP_fname=xxx&uP_args=yyy.

...

Those contributions are currently used in channel esup-helpdesk (http://esup-helpdesk.sourceforge.net) and we would be pleased if this code was integrated into the main uPortal distribution.

External Links to Channels and tabs (v2.6)

Here is the way we made deep links work with up 2.6.

The GuestServlet.java is unchanged.
