Tobias, You are touching a good point. This is indeed the default behavior and is unexpected for new users. The old reasoning was that hierarchical routers would be the default approach but in most cases, flat routers are used.
This can be manually configured using the Router#defaultMatchingMode and Router#defaultMatchQuery properties. I am planning to change this default in Restlet 2.0, see: "Refactor Routing API" http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=763 Best regards, Jerome Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ http://www.noelios.com -----Message d'origine----- De : Tobias Girschick [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : vendredi 28 août 2009 16:45 À : [email protected] Cc : Buchwald, Fabian Objet : routing if URI is not specifically assigned Hi, I have a question regarding responses on unassigned URIs. If I have the following valid URI (Resource attached): localhost:8180/algorithm/learning/classification/kNN and make a GET request to localhost:8180/algorithm/learning/classification/kNN77777 what I get back is the same as for the first URI. The same bahavior seems to be true for cases where the back part of an URI is not linked to a Resource but the first part is valid. So everything that has the correct base URI will fall back on the base URI (e.g. localhost:8180/) if no Resource is attached. My question is, if this behavior can be turned off and some standard return status like 400 can be issued instead. Thanks and best regards, Tobias -- Dipl.-Bioinf.
