Hi  Jan VANGENECHTEN,

I maybe have something which can help you. I tried hard to see the URL
rewriting feature working. And I think I found a strange behavior (it sounds
like a bug) in that feature. Let's explain :

When I got the following configuration :

Modification Controller
  |--- HTML Link Parser
  |--- HTTP Request
  |            requested url : /PMWeb/employees.do
  |            parameters :  [action : ShowList ]
  |            resulting HREF in the HTML page requested :
  |                    <a
href="/PMWeb/employees.do?action=Delete&employee.id=47">Delete</a>
  |
  |--- HTTP Request
  |            requested url : /PMWeb/employees.do
  |            parameters :  [action : Delete];[employee.id : .*]

the following HTTP request is generated :
/PMWeb/employees.do?action=Delete&employee.id=.*

because in the parameters of the second request, there is two parameters
matching the same HREF. I don't understand why but it seems like the first
parameter [action : Delete ] is used by the regular expression engine even
if it does contain regular expression....

Maybe I am wrong, I can't figure out what's really happening, but for my
case when I only specify one paramter, it works : [employee.id = .*]. But
then, there is a problem, when there are more than one HREF matching the [
employee.id : .* ], you can't select the one you want.You can eventually put
the second HTTP Request in a loop controller to request all the HREF
matching, but no more !!!!!!

If you got this problem, maybe you can try to make a special page in your
web site which return a url with just one parameter to avoid the problem.

Hope it was useful.

Yoann.
