NAME

Apache2::Controller::Dispatch::Simple - simple dispatch mechanism for A2C

VERSION

Version 1.000.100

SYNOPSIS

<Location "/subdir">
    SetHandler modperl
    PerlInitHandler MyApp::Dispatch
</Location>

# lib/MyApp::Dispatch:

package MyApp::Dispatch;
use base qw(
    Apache2::Controller::Dispatch::Simple
);

# return hash reference from dispatch_map()
sub dispatch_map { {            
    foo            => 'MyApp::C::Foo',
    'foo/bar'      => 'MyApp::C::Foo::Bar',
} }

DESCRIPTION

Implements find_controller() for Apache2::Controller::Dispatch with a simple URI-to-controller module mapping. Your URI's are the keys of the dispatch_map() hash in your base package, and the values are the Apache2::Controller modules to which those URI's should be dispatched.

This dispatches URI's in a case-insensitive fashion. It searches from longest known path to shortest. For a site with many controllers and paths, a trie could possibly be more efficient. Consider that implementation for another Dispatch plugin module.

METHODS

find_controller

Find the controller and method for a given URI from the data set in the dispatch class module.
