Re: Re: What if "Page" was removed from page names?

Hi list,

to answer Howard´s question, yes I would like that feature. Exactly as described. At the moment I prefix my page class names with the package name. I am not happy with that. I´d prefer to suffix them with "Page".

And my opinion to the discussion whether generation of urls should be configurable. I think it should NOT be configurable. The mechanism is good as it is.
1.) The generated urls serve the important purposes like being bookmarkable, no request-parameters etc. That is what is important about an url.
2.) I could imagine matching a class name to a small set of predefined values might be a bit easier than to something dynamically configurated. This might even ipmacht performance. Although surely not much and only at startup time. I haven´t looked into that part of the source code though.
3.) None of my customers really cares about how urls look like. Let it be "blogger", "myblogger" or "mybloggerpage". I am sure if you asked your customers, they would not be able to tell what the url is.  If we are honest, the desire to make url generation configurable ist to give us developers something else to play with.

Regards, nillehammer
