site URLs?

Ahhh... I get it. That makes sense.

How about getting the URL to a site or a tool?

The goal here is to get the URL to a site or a tool within a site. All the 
examples I have been able to find seem to generate a URL which has things 
hardcoded into it (like "/portal/" or "/tool/").

What is the right way to generate the URL to a site or a tool within a site 
(without hardcoding text)? (or is there one?)

That is the right way.  And the system is doing just what you asked it to do.  
If you want /mercury to be your portal URL base, change your sakai.properties.  
The default is:

portalPath=/portal

The actually code for getPortalUrl is:

return getServerUrl() + (String) m_properties.get("portalPath");

Trust the configuration service!

to return ServerConfigurationService.getServerUrl() + "/portal" which
does not work correctly in the mercury portal.

I suspect I am doing something wrong but that's nothing new.
