tried to follow the Routing code but I couldn't figure it out.
So my question: would there be interest in an enhancement such as
this? Or does anyone have a suggestion on how to achieve this via
filters or services or something like that?
Not much interest in this, apparently, which is fine, but I'm still
interested, so I'll keep going.
I've figured out how to have a Filter, placed in the chain before a
Router, remove double-slashes:
@Override
protected int beforeHandle(Request request, Response response) {
Reference ref = request.getResourceRef();
String originalPath = ref.getPath();
if (originalPath.contains(//))
{
String newPath = originalPath.replaceAll(//, /);
ref.setPath(newPath);
}
return Filter.CONTINUE;
}
This works just fine. (I know the regex should probably be more
sophisticated, but this is more about a proof of concept than
production-ready code.) But I'd be interested in having this
functionality be built into the framework; using a syntax something
like:
router.setIgnoreDoubleSlashes(true);
or maybe:
router.setIgnoreCommonTypos(true);
So I'll ask one more time: would anyone else like to see this feature
make it into the API?
