[Solar-talk] "Forwarding" Controller

[Matt M.]

Hi,

I've been working on a framework that is similar to Konstrukt:
http://konstrukt.dk/introduction.html

I've got a very simlified version of what I call a "forwarding" controller,
and I think it'd be very easy to implement into Solar. I don't have the time
to do this myself, but if any of you were interested in seeing how it works
I could post the code and/or examples. Basically, there is a single entry
point, and anything added to the path_info string is inspected as a possible
controller. It allows you to do routing and nesting. A url like:
/admin/product/54 would create a root controller, an admin controller and a
product controller. Only executing the "execute" method on the product
controller. There are hooks that let you change the response of a child
controller. The mapping is done by a simple array:

A URL of /admin/product/54

Root Controller
public $map = array('admin' => array('Controller_Admin'));

Controller_Admin
public $map = array('product' => array('Controller_Admin_Product', 'item'))

Controller Product
public function do_item(){
    echo $this->getSubspaceParam(0);
    // would print 54
}

What do you guys think?
