Using SimpleUrlMappingHandler

[jettro]

Hi,
I am experimenting with M2 release. Trying to convert my example to the new M2 release. I like the new namespace support, but I encounter some issues due to my custom extensions. One of them is something I am not sure of that I am doing the right thing. I want to accomplish the following:

<flex:message-broker disable-default-mapping="true">
<flex:secured />
</flex:message-broker>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Sim pleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<value>
/config.properties=configPropertyController
/*=_messageBroker
</value>
</property>
</bean>

It would be nice if I could do something like this:
<flex:message-broker>
<flex:mapping pattern="/config.properties=configPropertyController"/>
<flex:mapping pattern="/*"/> <!-- will pick the default _messageBroker -->
</flex:message-broker>

It would be great if someone has a tip to improve this.

thanks Jettro

Given that the namespace tags are domain-specific, I'd rather not overload the mapping element to allow mappings to other handler objects.

I would recommend that you just break the mapping of your controller(s) into it's own separate HandlerMapping and take advantage of the Ordered interface. For example:

<flex:message-broker>
    <flex:secured />
</flex:message-broker>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Sim pleUrlHandlerMapping">
    <property name="order" value="0"/>
    <property name="mappings">
        <value>
            /config.properties=configPropertyController
        </value>
    </property>
</bean>
