I agree, a Filter is definitely the way to go for this - URLMappings is for, well, URL Mappings :)
Logic is better injected in a Filter, they are very elegant and simple. Just parse the headers and then set request.device, and it will be available in all your controllers via the request object.
More examples here: http://grails.org/Filters

yes, you could use a Filter to set the variable. to detect device, you set the variable no matter what Url the device access. http://grails.org/doc/1.0.x/guide/6.%20The%20Web%20Layer.html#6.6%20Filters

I though I'd just need to set it somewhere - the UrlMappings seemed a good a place as any so it would be passed to any controller in a DRY way.
Any other suggestiosn gratefully received!

if you do detection by HTTP header, you could use the same url for different kind of device. so you don't need to anything with UrlMappings. do you need different URL for different device? how exactly you want to make your uri, controller , action and view? I think Grails is flexible enough to handle any need.

But how would I set this '$device' parameter in the UrlMappings.groovy using a regex? Paul.

it all depends on how you will put your GSP. for me, i'm doing sth similar. my app detect the host name and use different gsp view for different host name. so, if you'll structure your gsp like: /search/iphone/main.gsp /search/gphone/main.gsp then you use variable to make the view as "search/$device/main"
for sure you could use another layout, such as: /search/main_iphone.gsp /search/main_gphone.gsp
just position your view expression differently. it's not an official way, but you could keep your controller and model transparent.

Many thanks both of you for the info. I'd already taken a look at content negotiation, but couldn't see how to use it for browser types - I'll take another look at this and filters.
Paul.

I'd recommend that you read the Content Negotiation section of the reference manual: http://docs.huihoo.com/grails/1.0.3/guide/single.html#6.8%20Content%20Negotiation
It is kinda what you are looking for, would definitely be worth knowing about it.

how about create a filter to do detection and set a variable. and when you render the view you include the variable in the view name?

Hi All,
Is there a simple way to auto-detect browser type (by regex pattern in the HTTP header for example) and, using this type, automatically render the appropriate view.
To give you some context, I'm busy developing a Grails mobile site for a high-profile client. This is currently optomised for the iPhone, but they want WML, Nokia and Blackberry versions too. The model and controller do not need to change, but I do need to implement different views for each device.
Thanks,
Paul.
