The problem appears to be Liferay sees the ';!-1835...' as part of the page name which obviously doesn't exist and therefore a 404 is returned.<br /><br />How can I tell Liferay to ignore everything from the ';' so it just looks for a page called '/somepage/somechildpage'?<br /><br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />Mike.Mike Robins2009-12-07T22:19:55Z
