Wildcards in namespace maps url values to controller parameters
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2842
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin - REST
Reporter: Leonard Broman
Priority: Minor
Implement wildcard functionality in namespace declaration to be able to map URL
values to controller properties, or more appropriately, push them to the value
stack.
This has been discussed lightly on the user mailing list and there is a short
notice on the jroller blog by Don Brown
http://www.jroller.com/mrdon/entry/struts_2_rest_todos .
Simple example:
We may want to map a nice and clean url: GET /report/lbroman/2008/january
To a ReportController where the values lbroman, 2008, january will be set on
properties on the Controller.
Using the @Namespace annotation, a namespace declaration like
"/report/{user}/{year}/{month}" will use the wildcard mapping to map "lbroman",
"2008", "january" to setUser(), setYear() and setMonth() respectively.
Note that this overrides the default setId() for the first parameter.
