<pre wrap="">Hi Christian!
For mapping URLs to Resources you can use a Resource init handler.
For an example, see org.opencms.main.CmsPermalinkResourceHandler

Dear Michael<br>
<br>
Thank you very much - this looks extremely interesting. <br>
<br>
For all: in opencms-system.xml, there are several resource handlers
that are predefined with the possibility to configure additional
handlers. A resource init handler is a class that responsible for
mapping a requested URL to a resource in opencms. All handlers are
called in sequence, which means that an additional URL scheme can be
added without affecting existing functionality.<br>
<br>
This looks very simple to use and quite elegant. I like this a lot.<br>
This is exactly what I was looking for.<br>
<br>
thanks and regards<br>
Christian<br>

<pre wrap="">Dear all
one of the things that I am unhappy with in opencms is that there is no
abstraction between URLs and file system resources.
Has anybody in a project implemented some mapping between logical and
physical URLs? If so, which technique did you use? Servlet filters?
Did anybody successfully implement in a custom 404-handler in opencms?
Maybe even in a way that works with static export? I am not looking for
code here, I only try to figure out, how I could create a custom mapping
of URLs against cms resources, without touching the CMS core and without
messing around with external things like mod_rewrite.
One thing that would already be a huge improvement is, if resources
could be addressed like folders, as it is possible in Apache. For
example, if I have a JSP resource called /foo/bar and if a request is
issued for /foo/bar/baz,then it would be incredibly helpful, if actually
/foo/bar were called. This would very easily allow to create mappers for
custom url spaces. Does anybody else think this is a good idea? At least
the request handling and the link management of opencms would be
affected by this, I think. Also, I don't know how expensive this would
become, since a naive traversal of the filesystem, whenever a resource
is not found might cause too much DB activity.
Nonetheless, I wanted to ask, what others think of this.
Kind regards
Christian
