Map URLs to controller commands: action-mappings

Associate a URL with a controller command interface, accomplished in earlier versions of WebSphere Commerce using the URLREG database table, is accomplished in the WebSphere Commerce Web application with action-mappings elements.

Consider the three associations represented in the following table:

URL	Store ID	Controller command interface	HTTPS	Authenticate	Credentials Accepted
StoreCatalogDisplay	0	com.ibm.commerce. catalog.commands. StoreCatalogDisplayCmd	0	0	NULL
AddressAdd	0	com.ibm.commerce. usermanagement.commands. AddressAddCmd	0	0	NULL
AddressAdd	201	com.ibm.commerce. usermanagement.commands. AddressAddCmd	1	1	P

Where:

URL

The URL name.

Store ID

The store reference number for this URI or 0 to mean any store.

HTTPS

The value of 1 indicates that the request was expected to be received on a secure channel (HTTPS) and a redirect to the SSL port will be issued if it has been received on an insecure channel (HTTP).

Authenticate

The value of 1 indicates that user logon is required for this URI. Only non-guest, non-generic users are allowed to access pages with Authenticate=1.

Credentials Accepted

The value of P indicates that partially authenticated users are entitled to access this resource.

The following action-mappings configuration element describes these associations:

<action-mappings type="com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionMapping">         

  
<action path="/StoreCatalogDisplay" 
           parameter="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.commands.StoreCatalogDisplayCmd" 
           type="com.ibm.commerce.struts.BaseAction" />

  
<action path="/AddressAdd" 
           parameter="com.ibm.commerce.usermanagement.commands.AddressAddCmd" 
           type="com.ibm.commerce.struts.BaseAction">        
<set-property property="https" value="0:0,201:1" />        
<set-property property="authenticate" value="201:1" />        
<set-property property="credentialsAccepted" value="201:P" />   
</action>

</action-mappings>

Note in particular:

• The use of the parameter attribute of the action element to specify the name of the interface of the controller command to invoke.

• The values of the type attributes.

• The syntax of the value attribute of the nested set-property element: a comma-separated list of storeID : propertyValue pairs that defaults to 0:0.
