I didn't get any response to this last time so I'm asking again... :-)
I'd like to replace URLs like this:
/Sections/Subsections/?section=Section1&subsection=SubSection1
with URLs like this:
/Sections/Section1/Subsections/Subsection1
An action mapping like this will match that URL:
<action path="/Sections/*/Subsections/*"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter=".tiles.mytile"/>
The problem is, there's then no way to get what the wildcards matched in
the view (JSP). For reasons discussed elsewhere I don't want to put a
different action in front of each view, so I need a more general solution.
I'd like to sub-class ForwardAction and put the wildcard matches from
the URL into a map which can then go into request context. But how can I
pass the matches *into* the action? I can't user the 'parameter'
attribute since it's already used to specify where to forward to.
I thought about this:
<action path="/Sections/*/Subsections/*"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter=".tiles.mytile">
<set-property property="extraInfo"
value="section={1},subsection={2}"/>
</action>
But the wildcard URL matching stops working if I do that and anyway I
don't think dereferencing the matches would work in that context.
So, any other suggestions? The only thing I can think of right now is
overloading 'parameter', something like
parameter=".tiles.mytile;section={1},subsection={2}"
and doing the necessary fixup in my action class. Can anyone suggest
anything better?
