Thanks for looking into this so quickly. Ugh, this is going to be a real
problem for the site. Is there any way to tweak the engine so it recognizes
the difference between internal and external files? Internal use one
extension and external use whatever is specified? The reason I make a big
deal out of this is that creating a new site with Tapestry is quite simple.
Migrating an existing site into Tapestry is tricky... The pages have to
validate as XML (not a big deal for new sites, a nightmare for migrating),
friendly URLs have to be enabled, every page on the site has to have the
same extension (friendly URLs don't support multiple extensions), you need
to use a URL Rewrite servlet filter to handle linked directories (
site/abc/index.html works, site/abc doesn't), and now all pages have to be
.html. I suppose a bulk rename of the files and then another URL rewrite
rule would work but that's very scary. The site is already too dependent on
URL rewriting. Thanks!

Subject: Re: Friendly URLS Bug?
Ok I found an answer for you Mike :)
The friendly URL stuff allows incoming requests to resolve correctly (even
if they end in .htm instead of .html ), but you must still have your
template pages end in .html regardless of how the users requests/thinks
they
are stored.
The reason for this is that there are ~other~ html templates that tapestry
uses itself, like Exception pages / Components / etc...
You can override this setting if you like, but then you'd have to somehow
make all the rest of those templates available in .htm form as well..
My best advice is to not fight the system in how you name templates unless
there is a very good reason to do so. (like a 250m war!
:) )...Umm....Create
a quick perl script ? I've pasted the set of global properties for you to
see below, the one you could set if you were feeling like "bringing on the
pain" would be org.apache.tapestry.template-extension.
<contribution configuration-id="hivemind.FactoryDefaults">
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.engine-class" value="
org.apache.tapestry.engine.BaseEngine"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.visit-class" value="
java.util.HashMap"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.output-encoding" value="UTF-8"/>
<default symbol="
org.apache.tapestry.enhance.disable-abstract-method-validation"
value="false"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.default-page-class" value="
org.apache.tapestry.html.BasePage"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.template-extension"
value="html"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.jwcid-attribute-name"
value="jwcid"/>
<default symbol="org.apache.tapestry.default-binding-prefix"
value="ognl"/>

Ok, I double checked by creating a copy of Html.html and calling it
test.html. That worked fine in the UrlBugHtml app. Then I did the same
thing
with Home.htm calling it test.htm in the UrlBugHtm app. It failed the
same
way Home.htm fails.
