I don't know what the original intention of the poster was....
and ignoring the revealing information and whether or not that is
security through obscurity .....
The URLs *are* clunky. I've been using classic Jyve for some time and whenever I want
to
link to a particular page in the FAQ I end up doing something like this:
-->>
http://www.owal.co.uk:8090/asf/servlet/asf/screen/MainMenu/action/SetAll/screen/DisplayTopics/faq_id/276/project_id/18
<<--
Since there is no way I can actually remember this I ended up creating some
silly little jsp pages which I could remember....
eg
http://www.owal.co.uk:8090/asf/fop.jsp
(Excuse the port number - that is just because I haven't had time to set up
mod_jk on my virtual hosting apache server)
I've seriously thought about creating a servlet which stored URLs such as normally
produced by Turbine and aliasing them to a simple short URL eg
http://mysite/myzone/article?articleid
Please tell me I haven't read the Turbine docs enough and that this exists as a
Turbine service already? please please?
