- Method Detail
  - getUrlName
```
public String getUrlName()
```
    Gets the URL path name.
    For example, if this method returns "xyz", and if the parent object (that this widget is associated with) is bound to /foo/bar/zot, then this widget object will be exposed to /foo/bar/zot/xyz.
    This method is useful when the widget needs to expose additional URLs, for example for serving AJAX requests.
    This method should return a string that's unique among other Widgets. The default implementation returns the unqualified class name.
