Possibility to remove redundant information in Resolution paths
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: STS-892
URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-892
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: ActionBean Dispatching
Reporter: Marcus Kraßmann
Priority: Minor
In the beginning of Stripes, JSP files usually resided somewhere directly in
the webroot, so they were referenced as "/login.jsp" or "admin/users.jsp" in
Resolution constructors (the @Wizard concept for example assumed that JSPs were
initially called directly, so they had to be accessible from browsers).
Nowadays it became standard to have pre-actions for almost all JSPs and to hide
them somewhere under the access-protected "/WEB-INF" folder. This way, you will
probably have a LoginActionBean that forwards to a file like
"/WEB-INF/jsp/login.jsp". This leads to overcomplicated resolution paths which
all repeat the prefix "/WEB-INF/jsp/" and the suffix ".jsp".
I must admint that I reviewed the current Spring MVC framework, and they have a
nice and clean solution to remove this duplication: They allow a standard
prefix and suffix to be defined for the web application. This way, they can
always forward to "admin/users" instead of "/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/users.jsp".
Duplication removed.
I would appreciate if a similar mechanism would make it into Stripes. As
Stripes usually has great defaults, maybe a standard prefix and suffix could be
used by default, while developers could change the defaults if they want to.
Additionally, the resolver could treat paths with a "/" at the beginning as
"absolute" paths, while paths without a beginning slash will be resolved
regarding the above rules (with one exception: RedirectResolution to another
domain like "http://an.other.domain/...";).
