The W3C article says URL’s like “http://www.w3.org/1998/12/01/chairs” are okay, which is exactly what my URL’s look like. They say that for example “1998/pics” is okay because the subject is followed by a date, so the user might understand that that page is what “pics” meant in 1998. Similarly, I think my weblog’s URL’s are very clear and do not violate anything recommended in that article.

You link to a page that says dont use titles in the URI yet the link to this article contains the subject. =)

Apache Cocoon allows you to totally separate your URI space from your actual resources. Absurdly useful.

Those URLs occur if you are using the standard ServletDispatcher. Not widely known, but there is another dispatcher included with WebWork that lets you do the kind of URLs you’re looking for. I think the name, unfortunately, is CoolUriDispatcher… or something equally geeky.

One of the fundamental ideas behind the RIFE framework (https://rife.dev.java.net) is that we think that URLs should be fully in your hands and completely customizable. They should be like a seperate controller in the MVC philosophy, totally independent from the real underlying of your application. Therefore, the application should not be dependent on the URLs internally (to link between pages and such). If you decide to change the URLs, it should automatically be reflected throughout the whole application. You can then even go one step further and localize URLs to make them meaningful in other languages.

You could use the UrlRewriteFilter for pretty URLs. As for ending in .action, that’s up to you - I use .html for Struts, Spring and WW apps.
