Include uri-reference when calling controller methods

[gimenete]

Sometimes when you want to redirect to other controller usually you
just call the controller method. Example:

public static void someMethod() {
// code...
// redirect
OtherController.otherMethod(params); // this redirects
}

Ok. That's fantastic. However sometimes I would like to be able to
redirect to a URL with a uri-reference. Example: http://xxxx#my-uri-reference
The only way to do that is to use Router.reverse directly and concatenate the url with "#my-uri-reference".

Map<String....> paramsMap ....
paramsMap.put(....);
redirect(Router.reverse("controllers.OtherController", paramsMap).url+ "#my-uri-reference");

So that's a pain. And you miss the compile-time check for the class, method and params. I suggest some way of setting a uri-reference. For example:

uriReference = "my-uri-reference";
OtherController.otherMethod(params); // this redirects to http://xxxx#my-uri-reference

Where "uriReference" is a static field of the Controller class.

Try with:

package controllers;

import play.mvc.*;
import play.mvc.Router.*;

public class Application extends Controller {

    public static void index() {
        Long id = 9L;
        ActionDefinition action = reverse(); {
            show(id);
        }
        renderText("Redirecting to %s", action.addRef("boo"));
    }

    public static void show(Long id) {
        //
    }

}
