While going through the grails-users mailing list, I found a question about restricting all URLs to end with ‘.html’ & returning Error 404 for the default mappings. After spending some time, I was able to build a sample CRUD application restricting URLs to end with .html.<\/p>\n
I did the following steps for the same:<\/p>\n
1. Create a new grails application with name ‘Urlmapping’: 4. Generate controllers & views for Urltest: 6. Removed the Entry “ 7. Created initial data in BootStrap.groovy:<\/p>\n Run the application: Now, I had to use following urls for CRUD functionality:<\/p>\n # (Scaffolding generated links To convert the links into desired format, you needs to pass suffix=’html’ as params to g:link & g:form tags on all views & redirects in Controller.<\/p>\n I have attached the source code for reference.<\/p>\n This was my first attempt for editing default Url mappings. I am sure I will be able to find better & less tedious ways of doing the same over a period of time.<\/p>\n Also, I would like to mention that I found broken links generated by g:paginate tag. —grails create-app Urlmapping<\/code>
\n2. Create domain class Urltest: grails create-domain-class Urltest<\/code>
\n3. Add a String variable ‘test’ in domain class Urltest:<\/p>\n\r\nclass Urltest {\r\n String test\r\n static constraints = {\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\ngrails generate-all Urltest<\/code>
\n5. Changed the UrlMappings in UrlMappings.groovy:<\/p>\n\r\nclass UrlMappings {\r\n static mappings = {\r\n \"\/$controller\/$action\/$id.$suffix\"\r\n {\r\n constraints {\r\n suffix(matches: 'html')\r\n }\r\n }\r\n \"\/$controller\/$action.$suffix\"\r\n {\r\n constraints {\r\n suffix(matches: 'html')\r\n }\r\n }\r\n \"\/\"(view: \"\/index\")\r\n \"500\"(view: '\/error')\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\nhtml: ['text\/html','application\/xhtml+xml'],<\/code>” from map grails.mime.type<\/code> in Config.groovy<\/p>\n\r\nclass BootStrap {\r\n def init = {\r\n servletContext - & gt;\r\n Urltest urltest\r\n (1..5).each {\r\n urltest = new Urltest(test: 'Test-' + it)\r\n urltest.save()\r\n }\r\n }\r\n def destroy = {\r\n }\r\n}<\/pre>\ngrails run-app<\/code><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/index.html<\/code>
\n# http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/list.html<\/code>
\n# http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/create.html<\/code>
\n# http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/show\/1.html<\/code>
\n# http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/edit\/1.html<\/code><\/p>\nhttp:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/index<\/code>, http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/edit\/1<\/code> & http:\/\/localhost:8080\/mailing\/urltest\/show\/1<\/code> etc. won’t work since default associated UrlMapping \"\/$controller\/$action\/$id?\"<\/code> has been removed from UrlMappings.groovy)<\/p>\n
\nA JIRA issue exists for the same.<\/p>\n
