Hi I'm not shure what you are looking for her but his is my understanding of it.
Why would you want a backing bean for this? This is more the responsibility of an ApplicationController. What I would do is to subclass the Shale Aplication controller and add the logic you want there. You can use the filter mappings to control what gets routed to you Backing beans (I take it you mean ViewControllers) are mapped against views i.e page2.jsf, page2.jsf and so on. Hermod -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Brad Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 24. mars 2007 15:36 Til: user@shale.apache.org Emne: URLs and backing beans I have an application which needs to handle urls that have the following patterns: http://localhost:8080/myapp/projects/office1 http://localhost:8080/myapp/projects/office2 http://localhost:8080/myapp/projects/office2/subofficeA Conceptually I would like the request to be routed to a single backing bean called Projects that would use the URL content after ../projects/.. to determine what the response should be. Are there features in Shale which would make this possible? Is this where the Application Manager would come into play? Thank you, Brad
