Search Filter Dynamic Url
-
Hi sir,
We have a search functionality where there are few filters. User can select any of the combinations of those filters.
Current Search URL with query string: /pages/search.xhtml?cat=12&mode=1 (Where cat and mode in the query string are two search filters. Also the order of these params might change.)
Required Patterns: /p/search/cat-12/mode-1 (or) /p/search/mode-1/cat-12 (or) /p/search/mode-1 (or) /p/search/cat-12
These patterns depends on user selecting the filters. User can select any of the combinations or none of those filters.
Please advice a solution for our requirement.
Thanks & Regards

You could for example define a single parameter that also matches / characters and then parse it yourself. Something like:
.addRule( Join.path("/p/search/{filters}").to("/pages/search.xhtml") )
.where("filters").matches(".*").bindsTo(...)
But personally I don’t think that it is a good idea to place optional filters in the path part of the URL. I for myself would use query parameters instead, as they are optional by nature.
Can you please check URL’s in the following site. We are basically trying to achieve that.
https://www.elance.com/r/contractors/q-java/ind-true
Change search filters from left page in the above page and observe the URL.
Yeah, you can do that with the approach I posted before.
Can you please explain with an example it would be grateful to me,
bit confusion in where condition
.where(“filters”).matches(“.*”).bindsTo(…)
Thanks & Regards

Have a look at the “Getting started with Rewrite” section of the documentation:
http://ocpsoft.org/rewrite/docs/
Parameters and their configuration is described there.
Thanks for your support
i will try it.

hi sir,
i tried which you suggested ,

but its giving an error,
Please help out this problem its great helpful to me

Could you post the code of the bean containing the method you are trying to call. Also post all the Rewrite dependencies you added to your project.
Please ignore my previous error log. Below is the code.
.addRule().when(Direction.isInbound().and(Path.matches("/p/search/{filters}"))).perform(Forward.to("/pages/search.xhtml")).where("filters").matches(".*");
My Request URL is /p/search/cat-12/mode-1 and I got cat-12/mode-1 through {filters}. Now I need to split {filters} and pass them to /pages/search.xhtml as cat=12&mode=1.
Is there any way where I can access the {filters} value and pass it to a method to split them as desired and pass them back to /pages/search.xhtml?
Something like .to("/pages/trainingSearch.xhtml?"+getQueryString("{filters}") where getQueryString is a static method in custom class PrettyConfigurationProvider which extends HttpConfigurationProvider.
Yes…
.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound().and(Path.matches("/p/search/{filters}")))
.perform(Forward.to("/pages/search.xhtml{filters}"))
.where("filters").matches(".*").transposedBy(new Transposition<String>() {
public String transpose(Rewrite event, EvaluationContext context, String value) {
// convert the '/blah=23/foo=sd/' format to your query string format here and return it.
}
});
