I've gotten spoiled with the django (Python) method of mapping controllers to url's based on regular expressions.
I'm looking for something similar for a coming webapp (on jboss 4) and I'm waffling between a filter and a custom webwork Action Mapper (Class to map request to "action bean")
I'm not so concerned about mapping actions back to URL's. Again django taught me to add a getAbsoluteUrl method to each "content" object.
Any pointers?
