Craig,
Thanks man, it makes a ton of sense, but a major
requirement was to get urls to look like plain old
static html: take a gander:
*http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/home/
*http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2001/02/24/front_page/BLAIR24.htm
What you're looking at, although it looks static, is a
dynamically built page being returned from an in
memory cache.
Cofax uses what we call WysiwygTemplates. It's a YATL
(Yet Another Templating Language) that we wrote to
seperate programming from design, which it does
admirably. Not only that, but due to the way Cofax
chooses templates, you can drive a site with as little
as two templates, one for urls that end with / and one
for files.
But now we would like to add JSP templating w/taglibs
to the mix. Changing the url-pattern for Cofax is not
something that's desired. I need another way :(
