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.Pascal Aubry, ESUP-Portail consortium

External Links to Channels and tabs (v2.6)

The GuestServlet.java is unchanged, but GuestUserPreferencesManager.java was modified to pass the uP_args parameter in addition to uP_fname.
