The real issue with this kind of annotation-based mapping is that to accomplish it would require loading all the page classes in the entire application at startup (or on class reload), just so the annotations can be read. I may look into another option, reading the annotation without loading the class into memory. It's still something I've been trying to avoid due to the overhead. I want Tapestry to scale to thousands of pages.

Hi Tapestry developers: Is it possible to add friendly/custom URL support using annotations? If I mark my page class with an annotation such as @URL("/a/b/c/foo"), then Tapestry can internally automatically generate a filter that maps the URL to my page class. So a request such as /a/b/c/foo?id=1 can be handled by the appropriate class (in this case setting a field called id to 1). Is this possible? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
