Sorry - better if do this in one of your components:
@Override
public void appendToResponse(WOResponse response, WOContext context) {
super.appendToResponse(response, context);
NSLog.out.appendln("request class:" +
context.request().getClass().getName());
NSLog.out.appendln("context class:" + context.getClass().getName());
NSLog.out.appendln();
}
This should confirm that you're getting
com.webobjects.jspservlet.WOServletContext at runtime which isn't what you want
with Wonder.
Anyway, I've just committed the fix for the original commit for WONDER-389
(which obviously didn't get tested properly at the time). I've tested this with
both WO5.3.3 and WO5.4.3 and in both cases _rewriteURL gets called
appropriately allowing you to customise the url as desired.
As a work-around (prior to the updated build being available) you can do the
following in your ERXApplication subclass:
@Override
public void installPatches() {
super.installPatches();
// if you're using WO5.3.3
setContextClassName(ERXWOServletContext.class.getName());
// if you're using WO5.4.3
setContextClassName(ERXWOServletContext54.class.getName());
}
So to rework your example to do the rewriting you could do the following...
------------------------------------------
@Override
public WOResponse dispatchRequest(WORequest request) {
String urlAlias = request.stringFormValueForKey("_alias");
if (!ERXStringUtilities.stringIsNullOrEmpty(urlAlias)) {
ERXThreadStorage.takeValueForKey(urlAlias, "url._alias");
}
return super.dispatchRequest(request);
}
// and to customise the urls I'd do something like...
@Override
public String _rewriteURL(String url) {
String resultURL = url;
// your custom rules here
String urlAlias = ERXThreadStorage.valueForKey("url._alias");
if (ERXStringUtilities.stringIsNullOrEmpty(urlAlias)) {
/* either */
resultURL = resultURL.replace(servletConnectURL(), urlAlias);
/* or, in case of multi-domain hosting */
String appBundleName = applicationName() + ".woa";
int index = url.indexOf(appBundleName);
if (index >= 0) {
index += appBundleName.length();
resultURL = urlAlias + resultURL.substring(index);
}
}
return resultURL;
}
