Re: [GrooveApp-devel] Stupid coding...

[Allen L. <ano...@gm...>]

Hey Marcus, sorry for the late response, been busy getting settled into
Tempe.  So if I understand what you want to do here correctly, you want to
be able to specify/configure what kinds of http requests you'll respond to?
If so, why wouldn't a simple @Path(name=3D"/signin", requestType=3D
HttpRequestType.GET) and then the method wouldn't be invoked for anything
other than a http GET request for any URLs matching "/signin"?

Of course I may have misunderstood what you're trying to do?

Is there email commit notification going on yet?  Want to set that up with =
a
separate grooveapp-svn list?
