Gerneric url mapping for restful resources in grails

I have configured some restful resources in grails like this

"/book/$id?"(resource:"book")
"/author/$id?"(resource:"author")

But I want to to this more generic like

"/$controller/$id?"(resource: controller)

which doesn't work... (getting 404)

How can i configure a generic url mapping for restful resources in grails?

Solution

  • It would seem that the "resource" portion of the mapping is evaluated on startup, not on execution of the actual request (a guess from playing around with this). Therefore, I think you need to "preload" the set of UrlMappings you want dynamically based on the Domain classes available on application startup. Something like this might do the trick:

    class UrlMappings {
static mappings = {
        ApplicationHolder.application.getArtefacts('Domain').each { GrailsClass cl ->
           "/${cl.propertyName}/$id?"(resource: cl.propertyName )            
        } ...
