[Java] Interface UrlMapping

org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.UrlCreator
  org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.mapping.UrlMapping
All Superinterfaces:
UrlCreator
@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public interface UrlMapping
extends java.lang.Comparable, UrlCreator

Defines a URL mapping. A URL mapping is a mapping between a URI such as /book/list and a controller, action and/or id.

A UrlMapping should implement Comparable so that UrlMapping instances can be ordered to allow for precendence rules. In other words the URL /book/list should be matched before /book/* as the wildcard is of lesser precedence. By implementing Comparable this can be allowed for.

ACTION

public java.lang.String ACTION

CONTROLLER

public java.lang.String CONTROLLER

 
Method Detail

getActionName

public java.lang.Object getActionName()
Retrieves the action name which is either a groovy.lang.Closure that evaluates the action name at runtime or a java.lang.String that represents the action name
Returns:
The action name as a groovy.lang.Closure or java.lang.String

getConstraints

public ConstrainedProperty[] getConstraints()

The constraints the apply to this UrlMapping. Each constraint maps to a GString token in a URL mapping in order. For example consider the URL: 

 
     /blog/$author/$title/$year?/$month?/$day?

This results in 5 ConstrainedProperty instances called author, title, year, month and day

Returns:
An array containing the ConstrainedProperty objects of this URLMapping

getControllerName

public java.lang.Object getControllerName()
Retrieves the controller name which is either a groovy.lang.Closure that evaluates the controller name at runtime or a java.lang.String that represents the controller name
Returns:
The controller name as a groovy.lang.Closure or java.lang.String

getMappingName

public java.lang.String getMappingName()

getUrlData

public UrlMappingData getUrlData()
Retrieves the UrlMappingData instance that describes this UrlMapping
Returns:
The UrlMappingData instance

getViewName

public java.lang.Object getViewName()
Returns the name of the view to map to
Returns:
The view name

hasRuntimeVariable

public boolean hasRuntimeVariable(java.lang.String name)
Whether the mapping has a runtime variable with the given name such as "/$foo"
Parameters:
name - The name of the variable
Returns:
True if the mapping has the variable

isRestfulMapping

public boolean isRestfulMapping()
Returns:
Whether this is a RESTful mapping

match

public UrlMappingInfo match(java.lang.String uri)
Matches the given URI and returns an instance of the UrlMappingInfo interface or null if a match couldn't be established
Parameters:
uri - The URI to match
Returns:
An instance of UrlMappingInfo or null if the URI doesn't match

setMappingName

public void setMappingName(java.lang.String name)

setParameterValues

public void setParameterValues(java.util.Map parameterValues)
Sets any parameter values that should be populated into the request
Parameters:
parameterValues - The parameter values to set

setParseRequest

public void setParseRequest(boolean shouldParse)
Sets whether this UrlMapping should parse the request
Parameters:
shouldParse - True if it should

setRestfulMapping

public void setRestfulMapping(boolean isREST)
Parameters:
isREST - Set whether this is a RESTful mapping
