How does openrasta work out the action for a page?

Question

I currently have two routes configured:

  ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType()
                  .AtUri("/patient")
                  .And
                  .AtUri("/patient/cardId/{cardId}")
                  .HandledBy()
                  .AsJsonDataContract()
                  .And
                  .RenderedByAspx("~/Views/Patient.aspx");


                ResourceSpace.Has.ResourcesOfType()
                    .AtUri("/product")
                    .And
                    .AtUri("/product/tagValue/{tagValue}")
                    .HandledBy()
                    .AsJsonDataContract()
                    .And
                    .RenderedByAspx("~/Views/Product.aspx");

When using this code

 using (scope(Xhtml.Form(Resource).ID("AddPatientForm").Method("post"))) { 

For patient it translate the action to

action="/patient"

and for product

action="/product/tagValue"

What am I doing wrong? Can I hint it, I had a quick look in the source and Action is a URI so I can't just set it via Action.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

For patient, if the Resource has a cardId it should select that URI first. If it doesn't, it's a bug.

For product, that's definitly a bug (unless your product class has a tagValue of null / empty) so please fill a bug report on the new bug tracker at http://youtrack.codebetter.com/issues/OR

In the meantime, you can simply do Xhtml.Form().Action(Resource.CreateUri()) if it has the properties set or Xhtml.Form().Action(Resource.CreateUri(new{ cardId = value });
