I am currently using Appfuse 2.0-m5 and am having some issues trying
to map my actions in a RESTful manner.
EX: I would like http://localhost:8080/employee/
to map to a list of employees with links to specific employees
EX: I would like http://localhost:8080/employee/0012/
to map to a specific employee with id 0012.
A few specific questions:
1) How can I map url's without extensions to actions?
The URL rewrite filter is what you are looking for. It is already built into
AppFuse and allows you to map between the restful URLs and URLs that are
understood by the application. So as an example you could have a rewrite
rule of:
<rule>
<from>^/employee/(.*)$</from>
<to type="redirect">/employee.html?id=$1</to>
</rule>
Which would more or less give you what you want above. Full instructions can
be found here: http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/
The URL rewrite configuration file is called urlrewrite.xml and is stored
just below WEB-INF
2) How can I put dynamic links to other pages not as parameters, but
as actually part of the url? (ex. not .../employee?id=0012 but rather
as .../employee/0012)
As above.
3) How can I map url's with "/"s to actions and not a namespace and an
action as is the default?
In order for this to work your application will have to be the root
application in your container. This is the default if you use Jetty, but you
will have to configure it to be the root in Tomcat.

Any help to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
