move login page to /roller-ui/login?

[Allen Gilliland <al...@sun.com>]

any object to me moving the login page out of the root context and under 
the /roller-ui/ directory?  I'd also like to make it a struts action 
rather than keep it as an isolated set of jsps.  there are a couple 
reasons to do this ...

1. keep the root context urls as clean as possible, which is part of the 
goal with the new urls.

2. login really only applies to the roller UI anyways, so it's a fairly 
logical place for it to exist.

3. keeps all UI pages together under /roller-ui.  this is probably the 
most important reason because at some point in the future i'd like 
Roller to be easily capable of deploying the admin/authoring UI 
separately from the weblog rendering UI.  that's just a nice feature for 
larger sites that want to throw more complex config/tweaking at the 
rendering layer, which chews up most of the traffic, while keeping the 
admin/authoring layer separate.

objections?  thoughts?

well, it's supposed to be roller specific.  i wanted something 
semi-cryptic as well so that it would be very unlikely to collide with a 
possible weblog handle.

besides this is the part of the url scheme that nobody really sees anyways.

/roller-ui? sounds too Roller specific. Why not /ui?
