Thanks for the link, that helped me understand the basics of the 'path' structure the
variables
are referring to.
I'm trying hard to understand this before posting such basic questions to the list...
I really
am... but I'm still have some trouble grasping this and have spent too much time on
it. However,
it doesn't really address a few other elements to my question.
a) For example, i understand that if "*.xml" is matched, then "{1}" refers to the text
matched by
the first wildcard. So, this implies a 1-based index (as opposed to 0-based). So
then what the
heck is {0}?
b) The example I put in my first email also had "{../../locale}". This is also not
covered in
this document. My assumption is that it is reference to a URL parameter that has been
submitted?
c) And finally, either I don't understand one example in the Wiki document or there is
a
mistake....
It states, "So if you insert a new level e.g. by calling an action or a matcher. You
have to refer
the previous level to get the same value from the Matcher."
... it then gives this example ...
<map:match pattern="images/*.gif">
<map:act type="resource-exists">
<map:parameter name="url" value="resources/images/{1}.gif">
<!-- new level -->
<map:read src="resources/images/{../1}.gif" mime-type="images/gif"/>
</map:act>
</map:match>
...
Conceptually (not literally) shouldn't it be something like?....
<map:match pattern="images/*.gif">
{1}
<!-- new level -->
<map:act>
{../1}
<!-- new level -->
<map:read>
{../../1}
</map:read>
</map:act>
</map:match>
