UrlMapping Question ...

[Saleh Mamdouh]

Hi,

I tried to look int the UrlMapping documentation and Grails documentation and did not find a complete answer. Maybe I missed something while looking in the documentation, this asking here ...

Question : Can I map a URL to just a controller ?

For example :

"/test" (Controller:"hello").

By that mapping, I would assume that "/test/action1" would be automatically mapped to HelloController::action1 and "/test/action2" would automatically map to HelloController::action2.

Another sub-question:

Can I use parts of the URL to determine the action name.

Ex: "/test/$var1" (Controller:"$var1_old") ?

Thanks

Regards,

Yes, but you would use “controller” instead of “Controller”.

No, the above mapping would map to the default action in
HelloController.  If you want “/test/action1” to map to action1 and
“/test/action2” to map to action2 then you could do something like
this:

“/test/$action”(controller: ‘hello’)

I can’t tell what “$var1_old” is supposed to be there.  The question
as written “Can i use parts of the URL to determine the action name”
is answered in my answer to the previous question.
