Re: nice URLs (was: Short Design Question)
Hi Johan, I agree. Still, bookmarkability (also a requested feature) is exactly the reason for going along with having nice URLs for every page, even after an AJAX update. I have a prototype that uses Realysimplehistory to allow a page to be bookmarkable after an AJAX update. Not sure yet how general it can be made, nor how it relates to the HybridURLCodingStrategies. Next month I'll try to extend it a bit more. Anyways, the fact remains that nice URLs can be important for some Wicket projects, despite what average Joes may look at. Regards, Erik.

I think nice looking urls is greatly exaggerated normal people look at the browser contents instead of the url How many times do i look at the url when i am browsing websites. I think never. Bookmarkable is another issue that should work for example jump to a specific artical or forum topic. johan On Feb 5, 2008 10:10 AM, Erik van Oosten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Actually, I currently have a client who thinks that good looking URLs are very important.

A big me too to that! We have a specific (and I beleive wise) requirement for bookmarkable, human readable URLs representing the user interaction state. REST if you will :-) We are just now looking into a full AJAX redesign of the application (not all our requirements are wise :-) ), reading up on the required trickery like this: http://ajaxpatterns.org/Unique_URLs Gabor Szokoli - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: nice URLs (was: Short Design Question)
If you use HybridUrlCodingStrategy the page is bookmarkable after ajax request. It can be recreated, but without the changes that ajax request made to it. But this is not just ajax request, you have same problems when using regular request. Wicket doesn't allow you to reflect fine grained changes to page state in URL. That's a design decision. The page state gets too complicated to be encoded in URL. -Matej On Feb 5, 2008 12:25 PM, Gabor Szokoli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 2/5/08, Erik van Oosten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Johan, Anyways, the fact remains that nice URLs can be important for some Wicket projects, despite what average Joes may look at.
