Companies and developers will start to use the framework without much hesitation because they trust in the solution.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-424
The Jira issue above points out that the .htm and .jsp extensions are hard coded in the ClickServlet and int the XmlConfigService classes. The XmlConfigService class is a little bit complex and the modification of this class is essential to solve this issue. If the configuration parts need to be changed to a great extent the framework will be unstable for a while.

Why extensions other than *.htm and *.jsp are important?
I think the click concept of "Pages" should remain as it is, and should apply only the *.htm
and *.jsp pages (Velocity or JSP).
Other extensions should be handled differently, not as a page, since they are not "pages" in the real sense of the word.

Handling *other file types* is however important, but I think specific
controls should handle this, controls that can be linked from pages.

Other extensions would allow to generate template based

- css file,
-1
considered a bad practice to dynamically generate CSS.

- xml and rss files,
+1
I think they should be threated separately (and should be controls - e.g. link controls).

- xml sitemaps and sitemap index,
+1.
(Also the sitemap that can be submitted to google would be good for public click applications: http://www.sitemaps.org )


- json data files,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-509
Please vote for it, or submit a patch if you already have a good one that would fit with the Click concept.

- csv files,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-388
Please vote for it, or ... :).

- parametric javascript files,
-1.

etc.
I would add:
- PDF: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-507
- FileDownload support, "controlled download" to be more precise: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-389

Example sitemap index
http://217.114.115.252/sitemap-index.htm
I'm getting only:
-------------------
http://217.114.115.252/sitemap.htm?cat=346 2009-04-17T18:52:58+01:00 http://217.114.115.252/sitemap.htm?cat=883 2009-04-17T18:52:58+01:00
------------------
So no nice sitemap example :(.

Example rss
http://217.114.115.252/rss.htm?is=50
Nice. I'll make a JIRA issue for this too.
