Response to both Martin and Don:
I am looking for a standard way -- so I don't have to rebuild it with each app
-- to track the action URLs which my business knowledge says are page views.
This is simply tagging some action mappings with self-knowledge that their
purpose is to load up a display, sort of like a File | Open or File | New
command in office applications.
Not every URL of course, can produce a view -- my "save.do" actions would not
be part of this. Why? It doesn't make sense to bookmark a save. Nothing
technically prevents it, but in terms of business knowledge and design, it's
non-sensical.
I'd like there to be some kind of pluggable software that can do this. Such
possible uses are showing the last 10 viewable pages visited, going back to the
previous on page, etc.
In response to multiple views, sessions, etc. This is not my concern, for the
time being. Tapestry works this very nicely, and AFAIK, the last page is
tracked in the session from the last request. If someone cares about producing
a more brilliant solution, they can -- I just want to have enough built, plus
places for enough hooks, that I can get what I want without limiting people's
technical dreams.
Perhaps this is just a Struts plug-in, but one we can develop... Maybe the DTD
attribute is not desierable, as you said Martn, since custom properties can be
used.
