Ben,
You are correct. Using an array of UrlBindings would not solve my
problem as the reverse mapping requires locale context.
I'm going to go with the UrlRewriter solution that Rick suggested and
will write back if I end up revisiting this decision.
Thanks,

Stripes has to map an ActionBean to a URL whenever <s:url> or <s:link>
or <s:form> or RedirectResolution(Class) or various other constructs
are used. It is required a lot.
While it would be quite simple just to use the first URL specified,
that wouldn't be a complete solution, and then we'd have to have a
conversation about why we chose to halfway implement this new feature
and how somebody needs to be able to specify which URL they want to
link to. If we're going to do it, it needs to be done right.
Besides, one of your complaints about using the URL rewrite filter was
that you wouldn't be able to specify which URL you want to use during
a redirect. It wouldn't solve your problem if we just used the first
URL specified for every forward, redirect or link.

OK.
The problem with adding multiple URL bindings, though, isn't with
resolving a URL to an ActionBean; it's doing the reverse. The
Stripes UrlBuilder class and the JSP tags that use it depend on a
one-to-one association of ActionBean to URL. Currently there is
no way to specify which of multiple URLs one would like to build
for an ActionBean.
Sorry - perhaps I am missing something - multiple URLs can map to
a single ActionBean. OK. That ActionBean makes a decision as the
controller - using the underlying model - and either forwards or
redirects to a view known by the ActionBean.
I'm sure there is a reason for what you are saying but under what
cases would one need to map an ActionBean to a URL?
Better yet looking at the member example what would happen if
"say" the reverse mapping defaulted to using the 1st UrlBinding
URL? i.e. consider the first array listed URL to be like the
default URL or something. What would break? What would be the issue?
Thanks,

As many times as this has been discussed, we've never come up
with a satisfactory solution to that problem.

Hi Nikolaos,
If it was me I'd probably change @UrlBinding to take String[]
value
instead of String value. Then you could do
@UrlBinding({
"/member/{$event}/{id}",
"/miembro/{$event}/{id}",
"/membre/{$event}/{id}",
"/membro/{$event}/{id}"})
That shouldn't be a very big change but Ben Gunter would have
a better
idea than I would.
