BSP Routes to controller actions

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to the BSP technology and in an attempt to create an MVC application (BSP application with controller), I was wondering if it was possible to have the routes respond to specific actions of a controller like in Ruby on Rails?

For example, if my controller's named task_controller, I'd like to have the task_controller/create route mapped to the create method of my controller.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I did not understand your question as I don't know Ruby on Rails. But you can go through the below link to know about how to create MVC based BSPs.

[Model View Controller Tutorial|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/1d/20693c4b1c6646e10000000a11402f/content.htm]

It's a quite old link but still works

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the link but I've been through many sap documentation about BSP MVC without really finding a solution to my problem.

To be honnest I think this would not really be part of the BSP layer but more the ICF layer but still...

FYI "The Rails router recognizes URLs and dispatches them to a controlleru2019s action. It can also generate paths and URLs, avoiding the need to hardcode strings in your views."

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

From your explanation about Rails, I think of one thing RESTful Web services in abap, where you can write a Handler class and in which you can analyse the URLs and do the necessary action.

Build a bsp page which actually consumes the web service you created.

You can find the info on RESTful web services in the following links

Or you can directly access SAP from Ruby
