Re: Struts and Google

2003-12-20 Thread jbaker
Hi Brian: The main thing driving this approach wasn't so much supporting search engines, it was having user-friendly URLs and to match an already-existing site structure. There is one action that generates index and subpages for about 200 countries as well as sections on a bunch of human

Re: Struts and Google

2003-12-19 Thread jbaker
I think the main search engine problems come up when there are lots of parameters in the URL, although Google seems to do pretty well. One solution is to turn what would have been parameter names into 'directory' names in the URL. For example, on my site, rather than have a url like:

[OT] Simple poll and shoutbox apps compatible with Struts?

2003-11-04 Thread jbaker
Hi: I'd appreciate any pointers to a simple 1-question poll app and/or a shoutbox app that are compatible with struts. There are zillions of these in php and asp, but I haven't been able to find any that are java-based. It wouldn't be a big task to build either of these from scratch, or port

One approach is to create separate action mappings for /init /foo/init /foo/init2 all of which forward to the same action class, and then decode the mapping in the action to determine what to do. E.g., String path = mapping.getPath(); if (path.equals(/init.do) { } else { Joe Baker

That's what I'm doing for an application I'm working on (e.g. /countries/china/index.do). This keeps things consistent with the static site I'm replacing (/countries/china/index.html) and they look familiar to people. Joe Baker Director of Internet Communications Amnesty International USA 600

Design Question - giving nice URL's with parameters hidden

2003-03-14 Thread jbaker
I'd like advice on a design issue I'm facing. I can see a couple ways of achieving what I want, but am pretty sure there is a better way that I'm not seeing. The Web site I'm working on will have sections for each country and for a selection of human rights. The same templates (Tiles) are

Thanks. I must have been looking at old or incorrect documentation. It said that processLocale looks at the server default but ignores the browser settings. Nice to have this problem eliminated. Thanks, Joe Baker Director of Internet Communications Amnesty International USA 600

The first computer I used ran a simple assembler and had about 1k of memory. I think it was a TI. You had to toggle programs in or use the attachable card reader (you had to feed them by hand, one at a time). There wasn't a card punch, so I had to work out the codes and punch them by hand.
