Ray, you gotta check out Spikes FriendlyURL servlet:
http://www.spike.org.uk/go/friendly-urls. It works effectively the same
as Apache mod_rewrite (but will run on IIS and Apache and the CFMX
built-in server for that matter). You can resolve the URL to any other
URL including dynamic parameters etc. There is a CFC to help manage the
URL cache.
If you set it up right you can even get URL clipping to work. For
example, in FarCry we can do the following...
These URLs are equivalent:
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/index.cfm?objectid=007E73A5-D0B7-4CD6-F99F852D4199F0DF
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/farcry-plugins/friendly-urls
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/farcry-plugins/friendly-urls/
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/farcry-plugins/friendly-urls/index.cfm
The URL can be clipped to go higher in the site hierarchy:
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/farcry-plugins/
http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/downloads/
Now if that ain't nanna-goat sweet, what is?
