Re: Another Tapestry-driven web site launched
I finally got around to posting to the wiki. The new page is under the
Tips & Tricks section:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-tapestry/FriendlyUrls
I've also completely redesigned the way the urls are generated and
interpreted. The details are all on the wiki page.
As always, comments are appreciated...
