jurlmap - RESTful urls for java

What is jurlmap

A Java library for enabling your webapps to have clean, REST like urls.

Some features are:

• Simple pattern language for brevity and convenience
• Direct binding of parameters to bean properties or method parameters
• Configuration in plain java and annotations. No need for external configuration artifacts
• Implemented as a Filter for easy integration with your existing app or framework

How to use it

Here are some url pattern examples:

protected void configure() {
    // In this pattern $ means a string, which when matched 
    // is bound to parameter `Username` and control forwarded to profile.jsp
    // Parameter will be accessible via request.getParameter()
    forward("/profile.jsp", "/profile/$Username");

    // Here % means integer pattern and * means until end of the pattern.
    // Binds integers to parameter ArticleId and forwards to article.jsp
    forward("/article.jsp", "/article/%ArticleId/*");

    // When matched will send a redirect back to browser and parameters
    // are appended to query string so in this case the target will
    // be `/servlets/profileservlet?Username=...`
    redirect("/servlets/profileservlet", "/member/$Username");


    // On match creates an instance eof LoginPage and calls it's service method
    // LoginPage class implements com.pagegoblin.jurlmap.Page.
    // If it is annotated with a @Deploy(url) annotation
    // the we don't need to pass a url to the deploy method.
    // In this case parameters are bound to bean properties or fields 
    // of the newly created LoginPage instance.
    deploy(LoginPage.class);
}
