Re: [fw-mvc] modulear application with router for each controller in each application

Thanks,

The dispatcher::classToFilename replaces the '_' with a '/' in.
Thus the url chained by "_" is mapped to the controller in sub directories.
If we use the urls rule as subdirectory-matching,
we must encounter an interpretation problem.

Request:
/admin/tools/other/create
1.longest match
controller = tools_other_create
action = default
2.another match
controller = tooles_other
action = create

I supporse ,the solution of this problem is to set up routes by hand.
Router_Route_Static can make a static routing.
And Router_Route_Regex can make a dynamic routing to sub directories.
These solutions have also an order of matching rules.
Actually, these are functionable.

However, in case anyone needs an automatic routing to sub directories,
he must take the policy which rule to match.

In my case,I have made a custom dispatcher that has these methods
dispatcher::isValidControllerPath($path, $module)
dispatcher::getModuleControllers($module)
And my My_Router_Route_Module::match() check if manually the path
exists in the module's directory. and check if
dispatcher::isValidControllerPath($path, $module)
# considering a performance, matched rule is cached.

On another front, I have an idea of the router that determine the
directory like a RecursiveDirectoryIterator.
In this case, the router checks the path to match the first part and
trys to check the remains to match.
("Router_Route_Chain::match($path, $partial = null) "'s $partial shuld
be to do that?)
But an impracticable dynamic-route-name prevent me from doing that.
By default router use the name it set in addRoute().
If I make a dynamic and recursive router, the name must be got with
ex. $route->getName() recursively.And name shuld be composit structure
like an array.
It is too tricky.

Have you got any insights?

Excuse me ,I am not good at English.
Thanks.
