here is my problem : I would like to setup a webapp that could route a request depending in informations stored in the DB.
Let me explain.
The webapp provides modules dedicated to handle (display, modify,etc…) a specific type of objects which are all stored in a DB table. Depending on the object, a specific module is used, but this should not impact URL (routes). For instance :
assuming that :
Object ID 1 is handle by moduleA
Object ID 2 is handle by moduleB
etc...
URL routes resolution would be :
/Object/read?id=1 must route to moduleA/Object/read with GET parameter id = 1
/Object/read?id=2 must route to moduleB/Object/read with GET parameter id = 2
etc...
Now, do you have an idea how to achieve this ? I guess I’ll have to write my own UrlManager right ?
I’ve tried to play with UrlManager and it works fine (more or less) . After the parseUrl, I just check if the route starts with a specific string (the symbolic Module Id) and if yes, use some GET variables to find out what is the real Module Id, replace it and done.
mapping between virtualModuleId and realModuleId is done based on the GET[id] value, by my own UrlManager.
(a problem is that string ‘virtualModuleId’ should not be used to name a controller)
I I use the path format for URL, then it doesn’t work anymore.In this case, the url would look like this :
/VirtualModuleId/site/view/id/12
The main problem is not replacing the ‘VirtualModuleId’ string, but accessing GET variables. After the parseUrl, the _GET array is empty. From what I found, the _GET is populated very late, when the controller is created … and that’s too late to choose a module.
