The ultimate changes in the dispatcher have been mainly allowing plugins

We now support:

I think we should allow url related structurer as well.
Meaning e.g. the solr plugin could provide via
resources/structurer/url/solr-search-adv.fv
an advanced search form.
One could then use it in the project like
http://localhost:8888/solr-search-adv.html and it would match the
default implementation if no project one can be found.
wdyt?
There is precedent for this in various plugins (including projectInfo).
If possible, I'd recommend making the URL configurable from the
locationmap just in case there is ever a clash with a users urlspace. i.e.
<match pattern="{properties:solr-search-adv}">
We can use {properties:*} in the pattern, right?
I tried but it does not seems to work.
Oh well, it would have been nice. Perhaps something for the future. I'm
not intending to make this a condition of your proposal for "url based
structurer".
Further I do not really understand this solution.
<property name="solr-search-adv" value="solr-search.html"/>
or
<property name="solr-search-adv"
value="resolvePluginStructurer.solr-search-adv"/>
I guess it should have been the last one, or?
The way I wrote the match yes. Of course, if we could use input modules
in the pattern it could have been:
<match pattern="resolvePluginStructurer.{properties:solr-search-adv}">
and
<property name="solr-search-adv" value="solr-search.html"/>
Thus, if "solr-search.html" were used as a document URL in a given site
the user would just need to add something like the following to
properties.xml:
<property name="solr-search-adv" value="solrSearch.html"/>
In your specific case the name is fairly specific so would probably not
be a problem, but remember that for a long time Forrest has "reserved"
paths such as "faq.*". Your post made me think of a possible way around
this reservation.
One for the memory banks and a rainy day I think.
