URL mapping in Share

[johnorange]

Hi there,

I am trying to develop an extension for the Share client. One issue I ran into is the url path. It should be something like this share/page/appExtensionName/welcome, and for further work share/page/appExtensionName/{username}/{functionalityOfExtension}.

Can you please give me some hints as to where should I start reading about the url mapping and how can I implement this?

Best regards,
JO

you can read the uritemplate specification in JSR-311 or google  with key word "uri template restful"

1. Hi Kayne, many thanks for the follow up. Very good starting point.

2. Does anyone know where in Share I need to make changes to accomodate parsing of new uris?

The out of the box dispacher servlet parses "page/" routes. I would wish to accomodate a route say page/appExtensionName/welcome, where the actual page is welcome.xml, and the appExtensionName is used only to logically associate the pages to the appExtension.

Many thanks in advance for your time.

Best,
JO

alfresco share has used url rewrite (please check share/WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml) and  is builded on surf framework,you 'd better have a look at them first .
