if I request the component "/a/b/foo", mason will search:
"/a/b/foo", (failed)
"/a/b/dhandler" (failed)
"/a/dhandler" (failed)
"/dhandler" (found it)
I was expecting it to find "/foo". This is the depth first search for
method calls: if foo() is called, it will
My question is whether there is a way to make a compoent call search the
way
the method search works, i.e., depth first?
This will allow me to override the "foo" component in a subfolder.
I am new to Mason, so there may be an easy way to do it...
but if not you could always have dhandler find the component in the chain
and run it (a little more complex since it would have to re-search forward
thru the chain) -- for example, /dhandler could analyze the calling path and
search forward for "foo" (and even cache where it is located)... or you
could place a dhandler in each subdir that just looks for "foo" within that
subdir (easier/faster to find since it wont have to search a chain, but more
of a pain since you will have to put a dhandler in every dir).
The dhandler would know what component to look for by analyzing the $ENV
variables to see what path the end user called through apache.
If you want to go the route of having dhandler just search the current
directory to see if "foo" exists:
============
my $FILE = $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME};
$FILE =~ s#^.*\/##;
## add code here to make sure the component exists
$m->comp($FILE);
============
this is off the top of my head, so you may need to play around with it a
bit. (and again there is probably some really simple way to accomplish what
you want to do that I don't know about yet :)
