[play-20] Subdomain with Play 2.0

[Timothy Klim]

Hi!

I read past topics and trying to use subdomain in my play app: app1.myapps.com:9000

with routes:

GET     {domain}.myapps.com/                   controllers.Apps.index(domain)

and I got other index page or error.

What I do wrong?

[Timothy Klim]

Is it really hard to do?

[Todd O'Bryan]

The routes path *starts* after the domain and port, so you can't
really (as far as I know) route based on the earlier stuff. If you
want to redirect based on that, you'd do it in your web server set-up,
not in Play. Apache lets you set up sub-domains and do rewriting.

Remember that the domain could be spelled out as a name or it could be
an IP address. What would you do if you got the wrong one?

It's a question of convenience, especially in a  small setup / deployment getting rid of a webserver makes your life easier. Same is true for ssl support.

And to your question: Same behavior as apache, which has the same problem when you use an IP

You can't do that directly in the router in Play 2.0 anymore (and it is expected, it was a very bad idea). 

It is easy to handle via classical action composition and reading the request.host value.

Does it mean that each of programmer should reinvent the wheel in every project?

Can you include in play(further releases) some helpers for working with subdomains?

Thank you.

Reinvent the wheel? You mean, write the regex that matches its domain pattern?

How about link helpers?

[Timothy Klim]

For example: @routes.Application.index.withSubdomain("easy") - why not?

[James Roper]

Tying your code to a particular domain name makes it very difficult to test, either in development, or in a test environment.

Just curious, why is it a bad idea to do that in Play! ?
