For this use-case, I would suggest taking a string. If it matches a regex (like a number pattern), then cast and do a db-lookup. Otherwise, do whatever else you want to do.
Or you can use something like news/lookup/43 and news/breaking/breaking-story to be more explicit. > -----Original Message----- > From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Menard > Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 3:26 PM > To: users@tapestry.apache.org > Subject: T5: Multiple onActivate? > > Hi all, > > It appears that onActivate() cannot be overloaded in a single page class. > I'm hoping I just missed something and that conclusion is wrong.
