It is left as an exercise for the user. While using POST and server-side
forwarding are not very bookmarking friendly, you can bookmark pages if
you build your architecture with bookmarking in mind. With each
implementation decision you can make to support bookmarking, there are
trade-offs you need to consider, like whether or not to use <redirect/>
with navigation rules. Also, Shale's bean init logic and ability to send
a form as a GET method would go a long way towards better bookmarking
support. I had sort of planned to do the latter (though there are other
issues with it) if and when I have some time in the near future.

Another thing I had in mind was to see if you could somehow use the
unused GET request parameters with POST method (it'd still be a valid
url), to mark the possible/wanted viewId for bookmarking. I.e. if your
page tree didn't exist, the viewHandler would take the view id from the
request parameter and use that instead... Just an idea, still need to
think that one through.
