Re: [platform-ua-dev] Infocenter 3.3 doesn't accept "?toc=" url parameter

If you do a google search in "/index.jsp?toc=" (with quotes) you'll get
quite a few hits for sites that use this URL format.  The links will break
if the infocenters get upgraded to 3.3.

Chris,

Is there a new UR query that can provide similar functionality?

The behavior did change since Eclipse 3.2. Eclipse 3.2 only allowed one
book to be open at a time and the id of that book was passed in to the help
system using the "toc" parameter. Eclipse 3.3 allows multiple open books
and uses AJAX to read new content. The parameters passed in to the jsps and
servlets are not considered API and are subject to change from one release
to the next so this is not a bug. It's a change in a non API interface.

To access top level docs in infocenter, we use the format:
http://infocenter/help/index.jsp?toc=/plugin_id/toc.xml

Eclipse 3.3 doesn't seem to allow the "toc" parameter in the query string.
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
--Gloria
