Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[sridevi macherla]

Hi Sowdri,

Thanks a lot this example help me lot but if we see the example concentrates
how to parse the params and spilt.

One basic question how do we append params in the url

http://localhost:8080/#

for this URL how can i append params with activities and places, where as in
case of earlier we have Fragements or HistoryTokens.

Can you please clarify or help  as i am having tough time with AP.

Thanks
Swaroop

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[-sowdri-]

http://localhost:8080/#place-name:key1=value1key2=value2key3=value3 (as 
many nvpairs as you require)

Once you hit this url, the place tokenizer will take care of parsing the url 
and you can directly access the values of the params, using 
place.hasParameter() and place.getParameter() as mentioned in the previous 
post.

Thanks Sowdri,  But my question relates to how to append these parameters in
URL.  Place name will be defulat.

-   key1=value1key2=value2key3=value3


Thanks

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[-sowdri-]

When you are creating the place, pass this using the constructor. Ex:


placeController.goTo(new MyPlace(key1, value1, key2, value2, key3, 
value3)); 

Rest must be automatically taken care of! 

When your MyPlace extends AbstractBasePlace, make sure, you also expose all 
the constructors of AbstractBasePlace!

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[Ashton Thomas]

Adding an example to this piece:


MyPlace extends AppPlace {
  int param1;
  
  public MyPlace(String token){
this.param1 = getInt(pid, token); //if url is #my-place?pid=12tid=4
 int var = getInt(tid, token)
..
  }
...
}

Probably a better way of doing all of this but wanted to update this example 
to link to in another gwt question

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[sridevi macherla]

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for putting this, but how do u register the tokens specific can you
given up a n entire example along with Activities and
Place

eg: http://localhost:/book:id=1id=2
http://localhost/search?author:name=50publisher=MIThttp://localhost/author:name=50publish=MIT


Meaning in the above the example you suggested how to parse the token, but
how do you register this token for each place.

how to achieve different parameters for each of the place, pls suggest ur
thoughts, Thanks in advance
Sri.

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[Ashton Thomas]

Not exactly sure what you are looking for but I think you want to look at 
the PlaceHistoryMapper:


public class AppPlaceHistoryMapper implements PlaceHistoryMapper{

public Place getPlace(String token) {
if(token.startsWith(something)){
//assume SomethingPlace has params
//so the token is actually something?p1=2p2=12
//this would just route anything starting with something
//to the SomethingPlace
//the constructor should handle parsing the actual param values
return new SomethingPlace(token);
}else if(token.startsWith(something-else)){
return new SomethingElsePlace(token);
}
return null;
}

public String getToken(Place place) {
if(place instanceof AppPlace){
return ((AppPlace)place).getToken();
}
return null;
}
}

All your places can extend this class and you can use 2 constructors 
depending upon the context:

   1. Use this if you are constructing the place, to be used with 
   placecontroller.
   2. Use this for constructing place within PlaceTokenizer.

And when ever you want a param, just call place.hasParam() and 
place.getParam()

Hope this helps.

Re: PlaceHistoryHandler for URL with multiple args

[-sowdri-]

Are you using 
PlaceTokenizerhttp://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/latest/index.html?com/google/gwt/core/client/GWT.html?
 
If yes, they you can achieve what you are looking for using that. 

 One idea I can see is to make the place token the entire argument 
list.  So, in the above case it would look like: 
title=xxxauthor=yyypublisher=zzz.  Then I could parse each arg (are 
there any tools in GWT to help with this?). 

This is the way to go!

 Another idea would be to create a separate token for each argument. 
The place class may look like this

This is not supported, as GWT by default will consider the entire arg list 
as a single token only. i.e anything after the '#' in the url. Still you can 
have the constructor 

 public class BookSearchPlace extends Place 
{ 
public BookSearchPlace ( String title, String author, String 
publisher ) 

as such they are not related.
