New Request Handler

SilverStripe? 2.3 will include a massively re-vamped URL parser

STATUS: This is currently part of the roa branch and will be merged back in shortly.

Example

Consider the URL: admin/EditForm/fields/MyCTFField/item/36/edit

The URL handling is handled by different objects:

• "admin/" is recognised as pointing to CMSMain
• "EditForm/?" is recognised as being a method on CMSMain that returns a form
• "fields/MyCTFField/" is handled by that form object; it is recognised as being a reference to a named field on that form.
• "item/36" is handled by the named field - a ComplexTableField? - and is recognised as being a refernce to a particular record on the table. It creates a little "record handler" class that has edit and add urls
• "edit" is a method on that little record handler that returns an editor form for record #36 of the complex table field the the CMS EditForm?.
