multiple name tokens or aliases?

[cplummer]

Hey all,

I have an application that I'm trying to convert from GWT-MVP to GWTP.  The previous implementation made all the history tokens very verbose - they actually contained the Place's simple class name.  I want to change them to be much simpler, but I still want to make all the old history tokens work in case users have links bookmarked or saved.  Is there a way in GWTP to do this - perhaps to make an alias for a name token, or to map multiple name tokens to a single presenter?  Or, do I need to file some kind of enhancement request on github?

Thanks,

Chris

Maybe you could do this with an own Proxy class?

https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP/wiki/Custom-Proxy-Class

When I'm looking into the JavaDoc there is a ProxyPlaceAbstract#matchesRequest(PlaceRequest).. that could probably the place where you have to implement a check against both of your NameTokens?

But the best thing would be, if GWTP implements this directly itself (or maybe it is already?) through something like a NameToken-annotation that could have more than one value.

Ah, I forgot the link to the mentioned method in the JavaDoc: http://arcbees.github.io/GWTP/javadoc/apidocs/com/gwtplatform/mvp/client/proxy/ProxyPlaceAbstract.html#matchesRequest(com.gwtplatform.mvp.client.proxy.PlaceRequest)

Thanks, Christian - I'll check out using a custom proxy.  I agree, though, it would be much better if GWTP could allow this automatically - I'll file an issue on github for it.
