Helma - Javascript Web Application Framework: Path Object

Path Object

Accessing objects in the URI path.

Syntax
path[prototypeNameString]
path.prototypeName

The objects in the URI request path are accessible as array members of the global path object as well as named properties of path via their prototype name.

When Helma receives an HTTP request e.g. from a browser, it maps the URI path of the URL to HopObjects. This way, the path is interpreted as an hierarchy of HopObjects.

For instance, if an object in the URI path has a prototype called "story", it will be accessible as path["story"] or path.story.

An example for an URI path and its matching HopObjects:

/weblog/myWeblog/20010817/304/
| app  | weblog | story  | comment

Example An example request path of an application:
/h_files/myDocument/storyTitle/23 for (var i=0; i<path.length; i++) res.writeln(path[i]); HopObject file HopObject document HopObject story HopObject note var obj = path.story; res.write(obj); HopObject story
