Can Grails route requests to different controller by *method*?

Question

I have a URL that I'd like to handle with different controllers depending on the method. Is there a way to do this via UrlMappings?

Using two different mappings for the same URL doesn't work (the second overwrites the first)...

Answer 1

Untested, but can you try with the below mapping:

"/myurl" {
    if(params.method == "doThis"){
        controller = "doThis"
        action = "doThisAction"
    } else if(params.method == "doThat"){
        controller = "doThat"
        action = "doThatAction"
    }
}

Assuming,

http://<appserver>/myurl?method=doThis
http://<appserver>/myurl?method=doThat

UPDATE
When referring to HTTP Methods you can use filter (where we have request available) as below:

class RoutingFilters{
    def filters = {
        routingCheck(uri: '/myurl/**' ) {
            before = {
                if(request.method == 'GET'){
                    redirect(controller: 'doThis', action: 'doThis')
                }

                if(request.method == 'POST'){
                    redirect(controller: 'doThat', action: 'doThat') 
                }

                //So on and so forth for PUT and DELET

                return false
            }
        }
    }
}

provided the url mapping would look something like:

//defaulting to "doThis" or any other "valid" controller as dummy
"/myurl/$id?"(controller: 'doThis')
