Hi All, I am new to Tapestry and would like to have a particular mapping for some pages. For example, I would like that a call to /user/MyUserName/viewSomething/withThisParameter maps to a page called ViewSomething, where a user field would be initialized with MyUserName.
Now I can easily achieve similar goal using the url /viewSomething/MyUserName/withThisParameter by using onActivate(x,y). But the url does not have the same meaning and is less logical. As a concrete example, try /tag/billgates/microsoft, it is not obvious what this is, but /user/billgates/tag/microsoft is easy to guess. So I would like to do a filter that intercepts the request and if it starts with /user, get the page let's say in userpages packages instead of pages package, and then pass the parameter after user/ and before /pageName to it. It is quite simple to do using regular ServletFilter, how do i do that with Tapestry Pages? Regards, Fabien. PS: note that I don't expect this to be automatically done by T5, but I hope there would be a simple programmatic way to do that.
