Invalid note submits to /notes not /notes new

[leevigraham]

If a note is submitted without a message it's invalid the user is redirected from the original form /note/new back to /note.

I understand that the postNoteAction is being served and processing the request so this is expected behaviour.

Is the only way around this abstracting the core of the postNoteMethod into a new method _handlePostAction() and calling it from both newNoteAction and postNoteAction? Given the example uses annotations I can't see any other way of implementing this.

you mean and then POSTing to newNoteAction in the HTML form rather than postNoteAction? I guess that is possible. Browsers do not make it very easy to do proper REST :-/

Yep that's exactly what I meant. Using standard yaml / xml routing would allow this as I think multiple routes could point to the same action with different patterns and methods. Unfortunately it seems that there are only implementations for FosRestBundle @QueryParam and NelmioApiDoc.

I don't think this is a big issue but I was hoping someone would have a good DRY solution.
