Ben Gunter commented on STS-262:
--------------------------------

Sorry, I was tired and didn't want to take the time to explain. Here's an 
example of where it causes a little trouble at the moment. Say you map a bean 
like so:

@UrlBinding("/action/blog/{_eventName}/{blogEntry}")

And somewhere you redirect to it like so:

return new RedirectResolution(BlogBean.class, "view").addParameter("blogEntry", 
12345);

OnwardResolution will just create a parameter called "view" with an empty 
value, which will result in a redirect to:

/action/blog?view=&blogEntry=12345

By using the special parameter $event, you could map the bean like this:

@UrlBinding("/action/blog/{$event}/{blogEntry}")

And the resulting URL should look like this instead:

/action/blog/view/12345

The difference being that instead of creating an empty parameter named "view", 
it sets the $event parameter to the *value* "view".

Unfortunately, using _eventName doesn't exactly solve this problem. Instead of 
this:

new RedirectResolution(BlogBean.class, "view")

you currently have to do this instead:

new RedirectResolution(BlogBean.class).addParameter("_eventName", "view")

But like I said in my previous comment, I intend to get this fixed soon. I'll 
have to make UrlBuilder aware of events and how to handle them when 
constructing the URL. What used to be such a simple class has gotten so much 
more complex in the last week or two :)

> One thing that comes up frequently is support for friendly URLs, e.g.:
>   /blog/2006/08/22
>   /user/6282/edit
> and so on.  While it's possible to acheive URLs like this using 3rd party 
> tools like UrlRewriteFilter it would be nice if they were built directly into 
> stripes because then all URL information could be kept in a single place for 
> each class.
> I'm envisaging an annotation something like this:
>     @UrlInfo("/{year}/{month}/{day}")
>     @UrlInfo("/{userId}/{event}")
> that would inform Stripes how to map the extra pieces of information encoded 
> in the URL.
> Optionally this could also be specified with the existing UrlBinding 
> annotations, e.g.
>     @UrlBinding("/blog/{year}/{month}/{day}")
> If done right, the stripes url and link tags could also take advantage of 
> this information to put certain parameters into the URL instead of a 
> parameter string.
> I'm very open to hearing alternative ideas around how to specify this, and 
> other functionality that would be desirable.
