Oh, I forgot to mention that we can define special parameter names that
start with $. The one I have implemented now is $event. You would use it
like so:
@CleanUrl("/my/action/{foo}/{bar}/{$event}")
Then a link like /my/action/flibbity/flop/view would fire the "view"
event on the ActionBean. One called $defaultUrl or something similar
might also be useful:
@UrlBinding("/my/action")
@CleanUrl("$defaultUrl/{foo}/{bar}")
Where the clean URL would map to whatever was specified in @UrlBinding
or to the default URL binding if no @UrlBinding is present. That's
handled differently from special parameter names, though, so I haven't
implemented it yet. I don't have any particular love for the name
$defaultUrl so we can change that or even use some other notation
altogether. Suggestions are welcome.
