Seaside: Instantiate and Render a Component via RESTful api

I'd like to expose a component of my seaside application using a restful api. I read the REST chapter of the seaside book and did not learn how to instantiate and render one of my components from a restful filter. For example, suppose I have a filter method on a subclass of WARestfulFilter, how do I fill in the blanks? Note that I am nervous about this previous answer as I want my rendered callbacks to work too.

Myfilter>>showDocument: name
   <get>

  | component |
  component := MyComponent named: name.
  "__how to render this?__"
Solution

  • What you want it to provide a meaningful url to a component, using SeasideREST (which is not originally made for that).

    But, you can check this thread: http://forum.world.st/Seaside-and-urls-td4721764.html

    I provide there a way to do what you want, by tweaking the SeasideREST implementation and purpose :)
