Webscripts with searchengine friendly urls

flm — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:29:30 GMT

Hi,I tried to implement a webscript with search engine friendly urls, i.e. parameters in as path elements. I couldn't make it work so a created a really simple example which still does not provide the parameter in the javascript:testsefurl.get.desc.xml:<webscript> <shortname>Test</sh

1234 is not an argument, its the url.extension

For this to work your Javascript should read:

model.result = url.extension;‍

Ok thanks, now I understand how the matching works. So only the part of the url up to the first parameter is used to match the webscript, everything else becomes the extension. And only the url parameters after the "?" separator are parsed into the args array.

That also means that it's not possible to create two separate scripts for these two urls:


test/{id}/show
test/{id}/edit
‍‍‍‍

Whichever script is registered first will be called in both cases. I don't need that right now but I somehow expected that it would work.

You wouldn't be able to register those two urls. As they wouldn't be considered unique.

That kind of mapping is something we're considering.
