Here is a simple example of what I hope to do. A user inventory. Say user foobar wants to see his inventory. I was thinking I would hash his username to say xyz123 and then have the GWT app fetch www.acme.com/xyz123/inventory.txt and display the contents on the page www.acme.com/inventory.html, this way each user could see their own inventory by visiting the same page. Not sure what hashing methods I have at my disposal yet.
Is this a good approach ?
