    • getUrl

      The return value is the URL set by setUrl(), the resource URL of the resource set using setResource(), or the canonical URL of an internal path within the current application context.

    • setResource

      public void setResource​(WResource resource)
      Sets the link resource.

      This sets the type to Resource.

      public WResource getResource()
      Returns the link resource.

      This returns the resource previously set using setResource(), or null.

      This points the link to the given internal path.

    • getInternalPath

      public java.lang.String getInternalPath()
      Returns the internal path.

      This returns the internal path perviously set using setInternalPath(), or an empty string otherwise.

    • setTarget

      public void setTarget​(AnchorTarget target)
      Sets the location where the linked content should be displayed.

      By default, the linked content is displayed in the application (AnchorTarget.TargetSelf). When the destination is an HTML document, the application is replaced with the new document. When the link is to a document that cannot be displayed in the browser, it is offered for download or opened using an external program, depending on browser settings.

      By setting target to AnchorTarget.TargetNewWindow, the destination is displayed in a new browser window or tab.
