Re: Adding a dynamic sub directory to URL
Consider a site with the following url rewriting /mysite/cars/view - view all cars /mysite/cars/bmw/view - set the Car environmental as bmw then invoke /mysite/cars/view /mysite/cars/porsche/view - set the Car environmental as porsche then invoke /mysite/cars/view /mysite/facebook/cars/view - put facebook into the Mode environmental (different css) then invoke /mysite/cars/view /mysite/facebook/cars/bmw/view - put facebook into the Mode environmental and bmw into the Car environmental then invoke /mysite/cars/view There's two approaches: 1. Cloak the Request in a filter, all processes further down the request processing pipeline will see a cloaked Request when the @Inject it 2. Only cloak the request when calculating ComponentEventRequestParameters and PageRenderRequestParameters (decodeComponentEventRequest() and decodePageRenderRequest()) In option 1: - The URL displayed in the user's browser will be different to the @Injected request's getPath() - I can only assume that the HTTPServletRequest will not be cloaked so @Inject HTTPServletRequest and @Inject Request will have conflicting path values - If I wanted to calculate the relative location of /mysite/ based on Request.getPath(). I would get the calculation wrong in some cases since the cloaked Request.getPath() is exactly the same for all URLs (mentioned above) In option 2: - The URL displayed in the user's browser is the same as Request.getPath() - Request and HTTPServletRequest are not in conflict over the value of path - I will be able to accurately calculate the relative location of /mysite/ in each URL since the URL is not cloaked. I'm not sure that this URL calculation is a problem but I don't see a need to cloak the @Inject'ed Request. For this reason, I lean towards option 2. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Adding-a-dynamic-sub-directory-to-URL-tp5714532p5714591.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

I've been using Tapestry 5 since 5.0.4 or 5.0.5 and I never needed to do that. Let Tapestry do that for you. In option 2: - The URL displayed in the user's browser is the same as Request.getPath() So there's no URL rewriting anymore. I'm not sure that this URL calculation is a problem but I don't see a need to cloak the @Inject'ed Request. For this reason, I lean towards option 2. Option number 2 has the same problem as LinkTransformer API: you need to decorate or advise ComponentEventLinkEncoder, specifically the decode*() methods, so can't use them in your URL rewriting logic for parsing URLs and you end up doing that yourself. -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

Re: Adding a dynamic sub directory to URL
I have written a sample application which takes a URL of the form http://host:port/context/mode/foo/bar and transforms it to http://host:port/context/foo/bar;. It also sets a Mode environmental to contain the mode. This environmental can then be accessed in pages and components. In your case, the mode is similar to your club. I do this by decorating the ComponentEventLinkEncoder as I found that the LinkTransformer API was not adequate. https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-sandbox/blob/master/src/main/java/com/github/uklance/mode/ModeComponentEventLinkEncoder.java https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-sandbox/blob/master/src/main/java/com/github/uklance/services/AppModule.java#L133 Cheers, Lance. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Adding-a-dynamic-sub-directory-to-URL-tp5714532p5714543.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

I really need to take some time to get the old URL rewriter API, which is better suited than LinkTransformer in some scenarios like this in the Maven central repository, but somehow it isn't.. I've already adapted it to Tapestry 5.3.x and made it into a separate package. If anyone wants to grab its sources, check https://github.com/thiagohp/tapestry-url-rewriter.

Re: Adding a dynamic sub directory to URL
If anyone wants to grab its sources, check https://github.com/thiagohp/tapestry-url-rewriter. Peeking at the code, it looks like you needed to decorate ComponentEventLinkEncoder too Whatever happens, we need access to the core behaviour so that we can perform some string manipulation on it. The LinkTransformet API does not provide this (from what I can see). -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/Adding-a-dynamic-sub-directory-to-URL-tp5714532p5714552.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

For the incoming ones (requested URLs), it works by changing the Request object that is passed through the Tapestry pipelines, so ComponentEventLinkEncoder never sees the original requested URL, just the rewritten one. -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org

Actually, that's the opposite, as all them look at the same Request. Believe me, it works, it's used a lot in production sites and it's the same URL rewriting code we had in Tapestry itself until 5.1.0.5, just adapted to run in 5.3.x. In addition, if you have an incoming URL transformation, you probably need an outgoing one too that does the reverse. -- Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
Adding a dynamic sub directory to URL
Hi folks. I am writing a web app to be used by a number of clubs. Each club can register and create a gallery page and a contact page. Both pages will then be public. I each clubs pages to be viewable from the following urls: http://localhost/club_url_friendly_name/gallery http://localhost/club_url_friendly_name/contact When someone browse to either of the urls the app uses the first part of the path (club_url_friendly_name) to set the appropriate club in the session and show the appropriate club page. Basically I want to give the impression that each club has its own sub-dir in the application. Does anyone know if there is a way of achieving this?

Hi You should take a look at Tapestry's LinkTransformer API http://tapestry.apache.org/current/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/services/linktransform/LinkTransformer.html Here is more than helpful Igor's post http://blog.tapestry5.de/index.php/2010/09/06/new-url-rewriting-api/ regards Taha On Jul 18, 2012, at 6:03 AM, dkeenan wrote: Hi folks.
