External URL Help

I am tasked to allow the following in our secure tapestry 
app:

1) Generate a URL That a person could mail to a 
perspective client.
2) That client client would click on the URL to sign up.
3) The URL would activate a Page within our system that 
would then look at a parameter in the URL to determine 
which person's URL was used to activate this page.

    I have been reading chapter 10 in TIA for how to use 
the External Link's and pages. It seems fairly 
straightforward.  Where I am getting stumped is that I 
need to give someone a    URL like 
"www.signmeup.com/app?Salesman=John Doe" or something of 
that ilk.  This URL that I give needs to activate an 
External Page.  I guess what I need is to send an already 
rendered  external link.

    How do I do that?  I would also need to create the 
URL's on the fly so that I could generate one for a new 
salesman and they could email it to themselves/write it 
down or whatever.

    I am still quite green.  I have a full Tapestry app 
but I have not used alot of bells and whistles yet.  What 
I am saying is don't assume I know a whole lot of teh 
Tapestry internals.

    Thanks Again in Advance.

    Doug

>From what I've seen here in the list, you simply construct a URL that
would have all the parameters you need
(app?salesman=JohnDoe&client=new&whatever=xxx) and just get them from
activateExternalPage... your page, of course, must implement
IExternalPage and can otherwise do other things, as a regular Tapestry
page.

Thus, you don't need "pre-rendered" page links, you just construct
them from the data you need to identify your customer.
