I just downloaded Maverick this morning, and I'm already realizing how much time I've been wasting the last few months.

Anyway, I'm trying to write a resource viewer that will present one of hundreds of jpegs to users depending on which URL they try to access. For example,

/view/set1/pic1.html
/view/janesset/pic4.html

should return pages with the appropriate jpegs in them (along with window dressing), where the path to the particular jpegs defined by set1 and janesset are in a configuration file.

I can do this in a generic servlet by mapping /view/* to the servlet which reads the configuration file and serves up the appropriate local resource, and I've done that successfully. Now, however, I want to check to make sure that people are logged in, have access to the resource they're trying to view, handle errors robustly, and generally separate the M, V, and C parts of my code.

Does Maverick let me map multiple URLs to a single command? If not, should I use query parameters instead of paths? I like the clean-ness of the resource looking like a simple web page that somebody could type into their browser without a lot of strange symbols, but I can't tell if it's possible to do this.

Any insight appreciated,
Todd
