As far as I understand from your message, the solution is quite easy. You're problem is due to the fact that Catalyst forces you to define end-points and mid-points for your chain. Sometimes you need to have an action which can double both as a mid-point and as an end-point, as with your /tutorial/*/comment/* and /tutorial/*/comment/*/replies example. In this case all you have to do is create the comment action as a mid point, and then create another action with a different name, but the same PathPart (e.g. comment) only this time as an end-point, and all this action needs to do is forward or detach to the original action (also passing any parameters it needs).

I have a site where the primary objects of interest are flash-based tutorials. Each tutorial can have comments, and each comment can have replies. I'm using jQuery to manipulate comments in a REST fashion, and I'm aiming for a url map like this: /tutorials # GET a list of tutorials, or POST a new tutorial /tutorials/* # GET/POST/DELETE a specific tutorial /tutorials/*/comments # GET the comments for a tutorial, or POST a new comment /tutorials/*/comments/* # GET/POST/DELETE a specific comment /tutorials/*/comments/*/replies # GET the replies for a comment, or POST a new reply /tutorials/*/comments/*/replies/* # GET/POST/DELETE a specific reply But the best I've been able to come up with is this: /tutorials ^tutorials/(\d+)$ /tutorial/*/comments /tutorial/*/comment/*/replies /tutorial/*/comment/*/reply/* missing: /tutorial/*/comment (what would I call it? /tutorial/*/cmt ?) Essentially I'm hitting an issue with is due to the (seeming?) impossibility of matching a chained set of actions at multiple url depths. Is it possible to build the url structure I'm looking for above using chained actions? thanks, Stephen _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
