The Chained('.') parameter is used for chaining across controllers. I understand your URI layout from your comments, but I don't understand what you are trying to do with all those weird Chained params you are using.

Here is how I would lay it out. Read the perldoc again, it took me a few read-throughs to completely grok the subtleties of how chains work.


In MyApp::Controller::Object...

# Responds to /object/list
sub list : Local { ... }

# Captures object id, as in /object/[OBJ_ID]
sub object : PathPart('object') Chained CaptureArgs(1) { ... }

# Responds to /object/[OBJ_ID]/edit
sub edit : Chained('object') Args(0) { ... }

# Chain point for chaining to property controller
# NOTE: This is just a jump point, don't put bizlogic in here,
#       put it in the property controller
sub property : Chained('object') CaptureArgs(0) { ... }


In MyApp::Controller::Object::Property

# Responds to /object/[OBJ_ID]/property/list
sub list : Chained('.') Args(0) { ... }

# Captures property id, as in /object/[OBJ_ID]/property/[PROP_ID]
sub property : PathPart('') Chained('.') CaptureArgs(1) { ... }

# Responds to /object/[OBJ_ID]/property/[PROP_ID]/edit
sub edit : Chained('property') Args(0) { ... }


Hope that helps!

Greetings.

I've got some kind of problem using chained actions.

There are some objects. Each object has a number of properties.

And this is how i want it to be:

URL for a list of objects is
/object/list

URL for editing object is
/object/OBJ_ID/edit (through chained action)

URL for list of object's properties
/object/OBJ_ID/property/list

URL for editing property
/object/OBJ_ID/property/PROP_ID/edit (through 2 chained actions)

I have MyApp::Controller::Object

sub list : Local {   ....   }

sub object : Chained('/') CaptureArgs(1) {
    .... object-related-code ...
}

Problem one is that i've got to write something like this:

sub edit : Chained('object') Args(0) { ....}
                           ^^^^^^^
i can't say Chained('.') because current path is "/object" and the chain has
"/object/object" path.
I dont want to place the chain in the Root controller - this is wrong.

Problem two is how do i define last 2 urls.
In MyApp::Controller::Object::Property

sub list : PathPart('property/list') Chained('/object/object') Args(0) {
... }

this is very ugly!

and finally

sub property : Chained('/object/object') CaptureArgs(1) { ... }
sub edit : Chained('property') Args(0) { ... }  ( again, i can't say
Chained('.') )

Do i do something wrong ? Why do i have to copy-paste a half of url to
ParhPart and Chained attributes?
How do i need to organize the structure of my controllers ?

I want to define such an actions in the way like this:

Controller::Object
sub list : Local {...}                                         #
/object/list
sub object : Chained('/') CaptureArgs(1) {...}
sub edit : Chained('.') Args(0) {...}                    #/object/ID/edit

Controller::Object::Property
sub list : Chained('../') Args(0) {...}
#/object/ID/property/list
sub property : Chained('../') CaptureArgs(1) {...}
sub edit : Chained('.') Args(0) {...}
#/object/ID/property/ID/edit

Please somebody help!
