What's the right way to plug web pages into Team City?

Hello Nat,

There are several classes which might be of special interest for TeamCity
web plugin developers.

WebControllerManager - allows to register plugin controllers and extensions
to existing controllers. In TeamCity you should not use Spring UrlMapping
class directly. Instead register your controller in the
WebControllerManager.

WebExtension - a custom extension to an existing controller. Implement it if
you like to extend some existing pages. See javadoc for WebPlace for more
info about places where you can plug.

WebResourcesManager - use it to provide information about jar file with your
plugin. This jar file should contain buildServerResources/ folder as it
described in
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/TW/Plugin+Development (section
Web content).

I've written a plugin that adds new web pages to the build server. The
plugin uses the UrlMapping object in its constructor to map URLs to its
controller like so:

>

<pre>
public Plugin(
SBuildServer server,
UrlMapping urlMapping,
WebResourcesManager webResourcesManager)
{
super(server);
this.webResourcesManager = webResourcesManager;
urlMapping.addHandler("/" + PLUGIN_NAME + "*", this);
webResourcesManager.addPluginResources(PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_NAME + ".jar");
}</pre>

However, TeamCity's url mappings are are all specified in the server's
spring config file. It seems wrong to hard-code the URL mapping into the
plugin. Is there a standard way of configuring the URL mapping for a
plugin?

Thanks. The WebControllerManager seems to be what I was looking for. Thanks.
