Andrew Jaquith commented on JSPWIKI-578:
----------------------------------------
Ok, cool. #2 it is, then.
Yes, I like this. By moving (what's left of) the top-level JSPs into the
template JSPs, the top-level JSPs go away entirely. The template JSPs become
100% presentation ("templating"). It should be enormously simpler for JSP
developers.
The trick, Janne, as you correctly pointed out, is that the current
FileBasedActionResolver doesn't allow multiple URL bindings for a single
ActionBean. So a "custom" URL for a particular ActionBean would preclude it
being addressed by a ".jsp" path. I'm not too worried about this in the short
term, but for the 3.1 timeframe we'll want to do something better. Fortunately
this request has come up on the Stripes lists too, so it's likely it will be
solved for us.
After I check in my current batch of code, I'll start experimenting with JSP
consolidation (and write a TemplateForwardResolution class).

> Key: JSPWIKI-578
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-578
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core & storage, Default template
> Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> We currently have two URLs for each ActionBean - both the Wiki.jsp and
> Wiki.action are available. Now, since the URLs are different, it has some
> nasty side-effects:
> * Users don't know which URL to bookmark, or they end up bookmarking both
> pages
> * Browsers don't know which pages are equal, and therefore both caching and
> page highlights work inconsistently
> * Bots will index both pages, therefore giving odd results
> Since one of the design maxims of 3.0 is that URLs should not change, we
> should figure out a way to get rid of the Stripes-induced *.action URLs.
