You're right, I did misread your last post, sorry. But it's still not super practical as a generic SES-URL-to-method-call dispatcher, unless I'm still not getting what you mean. You'd need to inspect each method before you called it to find out how many args it takes, pad the array out that far, and then you'd still need a switch statement to call the method with that specific number of arguments. Keying the switch statement of the actual number of captured URL segments seems simpler and less overhead.
In other words, whether the variable number of items in the array is the number of arguments for each individual method, or the number of URL segments actually captured, the problem of how to generically call a method with a variable number of arguments remains. Unless you want to find out the maximum number of arguments passed by *any* method, and always use that, but by that time I'd think this was too clunky to consider. Is there some other way you're thinking of to make the actual call? Dave On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 2:33 PM, Michael Grant <mgr...@modus.bz> wrote: > > Re-read my last post.
