Inherit from a parent URL mapping

Question

I am trying to inherit a mapping, according to the PrettyFaces reference guide it should work like this: http://ocpsoft.com/docs/prettyfaces/snapshot/en-US/html_single/#config.mapping.parents

I tried with the 3.3.2 version and later with 3.3.2-SNAPSHOT but without success. Everything works fine without inheritance but I do not like the duplication.

Here is some of my code:

  <url-mapping id="management">
    <pattern value="/management/" />
    <view-id value="/management.face" />
  </url-mapping>

  <url-mapping parentId="management" id="managementUsers">
    <pattern value="/users/" />
    <view-id value="/management-users.face" />
  </url-mapping>

Answer 1

you have a few choices. Two of which are:

1. Without a leading slash on the child mapping

   <url-mapping id="management">
   <pattern value="/management/" />
   <view-id value="/management.face" />
   </url-mapping>

   <url-mapping parentId="management" id="managementUsers">
   <pattern value="users/" />
   <view-id value="/management-users.face" />
   </url-mapping>

2. Without a slash on the tail of the parent mapping

   <url-mapping id="management">
   <pattern value="/management" />
   <view-id value="/management.face" />
   </url-mapping>

   <url-mapping parentId="management" id="managementUsers">
   <pattern value="/users/" />
   <view-id value="/management-users.face" />
   </url-mapping>

I hope this helps.
