Question

Is it possible to add a URL mapping that includes controller/action/id? Example:

URL:

localhost:8080/myproject/book/scifi/dune
localhost:8080/myproject/book/scifi/walking+dead

new URL:
localhost:8080/myproject/dune
localhost:8080/myproject/walking_dead

I tried:

static mappings = {
   "/books" (controller: "book", action: "scifi", id: "dune")
   "/walking_dead" (controller: "book", action: "scifi", id: "walking+dead")
}

Doesn’t seem to work. Basically our client want specific URLS, I was using ids, then changed it to names as the ids. But now the client wants unique URLs. THanks for any help or insight.

Answer 1

static mappings = {
  "/$bookId" (controller: "book", action: "scifi")
}

and the value is available as params.bookId in the controller
