SES URL feature of Mach ii not working properly

Question

I have defined the following properties in mach-ii.xml file:

<property name="urlParseSES" value="true" />
<property name="urlDelimiters" value="/|/|/" />
<property name="urlBase" value="index.cfm" />

and in my index.cfm page there is a link

<a href=#BuildUrl("showUser", "id=#user_id#")#>View User</a>

in my listener I am getting the error the "Element ID is undefined in URL." Whereas I can see the parameter id and its value in the URL. Is anybody know why I am getting this error? The other problem is, when I am clicking on the other links in the page, it is keep on appending the link in the URL instead of making the new URL. First time when I am loading my site it loads css and js properly but after clicking on some link it breaks the css and js.

Please help.

You should be referencing the id value in your listener as part of the current event structure (ie; arguments.event.getArg("id")), not the URL scope (ie; URL.id).

Your urlBase value should also be absolute from the webroot, so that if the app is at the base of your webroot, the urlBase value would be /index.cfm or if the app is inside a folder called myApp that it just off the webroot, the urlBase value would be /myApp/index.cfm
