Hey, I'm using dispatcher running under httpd as cache.
One of the things I am trying to get around is serving pages from the usual /content/<site>/<lang>/page.html structure. I need to validate, but I think I could 1) handle incoming rewrites: mysite.com/page.html > /content/mysite/en/page.html 2) use the JCR Resource Resolver mappings to rewrite all my in-page links to point at /page.html I haven't looked at the source code to see why sling can't handle bi-directional mapping when using regex (it seems like it should be able to, but I must be missing something).
