Match Without Current Value Example

A MatchWithoutCurrentValue example for Lift 2.6.

Scenario

We have a Menu.param matching /product/{id}.

There is one known product ID: 1.

Expected Behaviour

• A request of /product/1 should produce a "product information" page which simply echos the product ID.

• A request of /product/2 should redirect the user to the home page.

Try it...

$ sbt
> container:start

Try the above URLs:

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/ (home page).
• http://127.0.0.1:8080/product/1 (product detail page).
• http://127.0.0.1:8080/product/2 (should redirect to home page).

Code

The Menu.param is created and added to site map in Boot.scala. This is also where our "database" lives.

The ProductInfo and rendering class is in code.snippet/products.scala.

The HTML page is src/main/webapp/product/star.html
