Mapping URL's to files

[Johnny Gara]

using spring2.5, and just trying to map a url to a file

ie.
http://localhost:8080/myapp/testme/yahyou

I want it to actually retrieve
http://localhost:8080/myapp/results/yahyou.xml

I know how I'd do it if I was generating my xml file, but if the file exists I can't seem to make it work. I tried implementing the UrlFilenameViewController and basically

@Override
protected String extractViewNameFromUrlPath(String uri) {
        int index = uri.lastIndexOf('/');

        if( index > 0 ) {
            uri = uri.substring( index + 1 , uri.length() );
        }
 
        // remove xml if found
        index = uri.lastIndexOf('.');

        if( index > 0 ) {
            uri = uri.substring( 0, index );
        }
        return uri;
    }

and while it will return what I think I want (ie, with a prefix=results, a suffix=.xml, i get /results/youwin.xml) but I get an exception:

org.apache.tiles.definition.NoSuchDefinitionException: /results/youwin.xml

Try making it

"results/youwin.xml" 

instead of

"/results/youwin.xml"
