I think if you set "org.apache.tapestry.home-page" to "index" in your .application file, then that should be enough. http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/UsersGuide/configuration.html
Ok. I've already done that :-) [...]

Yes. As the UrlRewrite does, and as the filter would do. So I still don't get what your solution gives except for "tuning" many pages which is not something I am in need of.
We have been working recently too to make our website more search engine friendly... Do you have references or more information on the url format search engines like?
A lot can be done but is not always specific to Tapestry. For example, your webserver shoud be optimised a bit with actualis.com redirecting (with a 301 and not a 302) to www.actualis.com (the same could apply to .fr domains). This is important because otherwise Google thinks is it a two distincts sites, one being a copy of the other and your ranking can be penalized because of this. Now, I would like to be able also to have URLs without the '.html' extension. This has no meaning at all and as explained in http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI, the extension somehow expose the technology used and this is something you should avoid. What would happen if you redesign let's say a PHP website into a Tapestry app? You would keep your '.php' extension for HTML pages generated by Tapestry? I'd like to be able to put pages in "virtual directories" although the Tapestry pages "model" would be "flat": meaning all templates would be in the same directory, only a configuration file would indicate that page XXX should be bound to URL "/whatever-i-want/my-wonderful-page" for example. Of course this setting would be used by all links components in order to generate something coherent. Ideally we could be able to use a url mapping service (hivemind service) which would allow us to have the mapping in a database instead for example.
I have been also thinking of writing in tapestry a dynamic sitemap for google. Do you know if this is worth it?
Generating a Google sitemap has not really proved to be useful unless you have lots of pages, in which case search engines might be a little bit lost and drop pages. This can be useful too when you have ugly URLs. Sitemaps only give an indication to Google that you have some fresh content that should be indexed.
