There should already be code there to do that. Context implements Iterable<String> to iterate over the variables it supports.

Accepting a Context allows us to use custom resolvers for variable values... such as the ObjectContext will provides the ability to use java getters for the values. I'd suggest that we go ahead and keep it.

Then what's needed is a way to combine/merge two Contexts (into a new one, I assume, since they're immutable). Any thoughts on the right way to do that? I assume it will require that the interface add a way to iterate the Context's contents.

I'm looking at this code again. Does Route.expand really need to take a Context? It seems like all it should ever really need is a Map.

James - thoughts?

Jim Ancona commented on ABDERA-95:
----------------------------------

The problem with my fix is that the third parameter to RouteManager.urlFor() is an Object and my fix only handles the case where it is a Map. If you look at RouteManager.getContext(), you'll see that it handles two other cases (Contaxt and Object). I couldn't see a general way to add the extra parameters to the Context. (Contexts don't even have the equivalent of Map.getKeys(), so you can't find out what in them in order to merge them.) My code will work in the current case, but would fail if a caller passed something other than a Map to RouteManager.urlFor() .

This look to me to be better than the servicesPattern approach. I had tried an approach using code that I wrote to parse a URI according to a URI template, but as James said, you can't do it in the general case, and besides the Principle of Least Power[1] applies: Routes are less powerful than templates but still solve the problem cleanly and therefore are more desirable in this case.

I spent some time trying to debug this last night, but didn't find the solution. I will attach a unit test patch that reproduces the problem.
