Depends on the view point. What is less simple? Do you mean less verbose? Or more implicit? What does less verbosity or more implicity give? I'd say more confusion or not exactly knowing what that Matcher does but matching. I think one thing is matching the other thing is make sure there is a session (SoC). > Consider the situation where the act block is large and spans more > than one page?

No I don't think so. It forces you to think about it and group your matchings according to some higher level concern (session enabled). > IMHO I think a more scalable solution would be.... > > <!-- session check here would not be a good idea --> > <map:match pattern="login"> > <map:parameter name="conditional" value="unConditional"/> > ... > </map:match> > > <map:match pattern="URI1*"> > ... > </map:match> > > > <!-- requires no session check --> > <map:match pattern="simpleLinks-page"> > <map:parameter name="conditional" value="unConditional"/> > ... > </map:match> > > <map:match pattern="URI2*"> > ... > </map:match> This sample shows that you build up your sitemap for additional URIs you have to handle simply by putting them at the bottom. This is very dangerous as you need to group them anyway (from detailed to general). To be honest. I don't like parametrizable Matchers as this confuses their meaning. Parameters do a good job for Generators and Transformer because these Components are more complex. But a Matcher should be kept as simple as possible.
