I’m not really sure how to express this, but one pattern I often see in RoR apps is something like this:

/Post/postid/Comment/commentid

or

/Project/projectid/Tasks/taskid

Essentially in the model since a Project has Tasks you can access the TaskController from within a project resource.

Now I have started using the SimplyRestfulRouting from MVCContrib with ASP.NET MVC, so I have the following format:

Route => Action

/{Controller} => Index()

/{Controller}/{id} => Show()

I won’t get into all the details, anyone can google SimplyRestfulRouting to see. I am wondering if there is a consistent way to then allow:

/{Controller}/{id}/{Controller}/{id} type syntax.

Obviously it would be ideal if this was a convention over configuration style rather than just setting up lots of routes.

    I have found the answer and it is Steve Hodgekiss’ Restful Routes. It is much more flexible than the one that comes with MVCContrib and allows for the sort of thing I am talking about and much, much more.
