rewrite problem

[night_stalker]

I want to make RESTful urls (not REST API), for example:

"/post/123" is mapped to "post/show.html" with param "id=123"

but the following rewrite rule seems recursive

LiftRules.rewrite.append {
case RewriteRequest(ParsePath(List("post", id), _, _, _), _, _)
=>
RewriteResponse(List("post","show"), Map("id"->urlDecode(id)))
}

and loops forever ...

That's because the url "post/show" is being intercepted by the same
rewrite rule that matches "post/<id>" urls. To get around this, try
adding an if statement to your rewrite rule:

LiftRules.rewrite.append {
case RewriteRequest(ParsePath(List("post", id), _, _, _), _, _)

if (id != "show") =>

RewriteResponse(List("post","show"), Map("id"->urlDecode(id)))

Hope this helps!

or:

LiftRules.rewrite.append {
     case RewriteRequest(ParsePath(List("post", id), _, _, _), _, _)
=>

       RewriteResponse(List("post","show"), Map("id"->urlDecode(id)), true)
   }

The true parameter stops the rewriting process so you don't get the infinite loop.

Can't find

RewriteResponse.apply(List[String], Map[String, String], Boolean)

in 1.0 API, is it a new feature?

It's probably a new feature in 1.1 to address the issue that you identified.

I recommend running against 1.1-M4 or SNAPSHOT.
