8.4.12 Customizing URL Formats
The default URL Mapping mechanism supports camel case names in the URLs. The default URL for accessing an action namedaddNumbers
in a controller named MathHelperController
would be something like /mathHelper/addNumbers
. Grails allows for the customization of this pattern and provides an implementation which replaces the camel case convention with a hyphenated convention that would support URLs like /math-helper/add-numbers
. To enable hyphenated URLs assign a value of "hyphenated" to the grails.web.url.converter
property in grails-app/conf/application.groovy
.// grails-app/conf/application.groovygrails.web.url.converter = 'hyphenated'
grails.web.UrlConverter.BEAN_NAME
. If Grails finds a bean in the context with that name, it will be used as the default converter and there is no need to assign a value to the grails.web.url.converter
config property.// src/groovy/com/myapplication/MyUrlConverterImpl.groovypackage com.myapplicationclass MyUrlConverterImpl implements grails.web.UrlConverter { String toUrlElement(String propertyOrClassName) { // return some representation of a property or class name that should be used in URLs… } }
// grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovybeans = {
"${grails.web.UrlConverter.BEAN_NAME}"(com.myapplication.MyUrlConverterImpl)
}
