Attaching stuff to pages
I know this type of question has been asked before, so if somebody can point me to a previous thread or some doc, that would be cool. I have a page like books mounted on /books. When the user sees the page mounted at /books, she gets a list of all available books. Each available book should be located at /books/bookIsbn. If a user directly accesses the URL /books/bookIsbn, then either that book information should be displayed, or a 404 should be returned (maybe with a friendly message saying that such book doesn't exist). Now, the only way to know which books are available is to browse the database. This means that I can't actually mount a separate page for each book. This processing needs to be done dynamically. I suspect that I need to do all this logic in the books page itself, and that I need to implement my own custom URL handler that works with the books page. During a debugging session, I traced through IRequestTargetUrlCodingStrategy, but didn't see anything that looked like what I needed... Could somebody point me in the right direction?

mount a page using indexed url coding strategy then in the page check if there is a parameter. if there is one add the details panel, if not add the list panel -igor On Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 7:39 PM, David Leangen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this type of question has been asked before, so if somebody can point me to a previous thread or some doc, that would be cool.

Re: Attaching stuff to pages
I'm using MixedParamUrlCodingStrategy. Beautiful stuff! Just one prob on line 154: String value = (String)parameters.get(parameterName); This throws a ClassCastException, since parameters.get() returns String[] and not String. Doesn't this have to do with an api change in javax.servlet? Should I submit a patch? Cheers, -dml- On Fri, 2008-04-11 at 11:45 +0900, David Leangen wrote: Cool!
