xi:include : Make the called resource aware of it

baszero commented 13 years ago

Hi,

I am using xi:include in order to include the menu on the top of every page as well as the side bar navigation.

Yanel provides a mechanism in which the included snippet is not retrieved via real request from the browser but rather internally, so that the browser only sees the initial single request. This is achieved by prefixing the include URL by yanelresource:, e.g.:

So for each xi:include, Yanel internally creates another request and the respective resource gets triggered (in case of my example above, the resource is called which matches the realm path /de/sidebar.html.

Suggestion for improval: It would be great if the called resource would be able to find out whether the request is a normal external request (coming from the browser) or whether it is an internal request (coming via xi:include yanelresource:). This would help to control business logic that should be executed only once per external request.

E.g.:

boolean isInternal = getEnvironment().getRequest().isInternal();

If I find some spare time to implement the stuff, I'll do that for sure. but I guess that for a Yanel insider like you, i'd be a quick task.
