Question : seam and fine grain url control (regular expressi

[zdaler]

Hi,

Is there a way to control urls way beyond the standard file name <-> url current mapping ?
For instance if I have a page named "users.xhtml" along with a backing bean and I want that page to be served as "/users/myusername/" to access my userspace instead of "/users?username=myusername" ?
Is there a way to do that ?

(This is really a need when migrating a legacy app to seam.)

Use the urlrewrite filter (see the wiki in cvs for an example) or a page action.

I think a page action is not sufficient for what I'm trying to do ...
I'm sorry but I dont know what that "wiki in cvs" is (?) ... but maybe you're talking about http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/ ?

Seam now includes the tuckey.org URL rewrite filter, at least in CVS (thanks to Paul Tuckey). Deeper integration is planned, hopefully making it possible to configure URL rewriting in pages.xml.
