Andrew Jaquith commented on JSPWIKI-578:
----------------------------------------
There are two issues here:
1. The method you used, changing the @UrlBinding annotation in the class file,
means that URL bindings are hard-coded into the ActionBean. I wrote
FileBasedActionResolver to allow these to be externalized. So, when the time is
right, that is the technique we should use rather than marking up the source
code file.
2. Using /Wiki.jsp as the URL binding creates a bit of a chicken-and-egg
problem: when you directly GET Wiki.jsp, the stripes:useActionBean tag fires,
which executes the event "view". That "view" event in turn forwards to....
Wiki.jsp. So I THINK the view method will execute twice. Not exactly sure, but
I remember there were some complications.
I don't think this needs to be done for graduation, but it needs to be done
before the 3.0 beta. All of the other features need to work properly, e.g.,
AJAX... URL bindings should be the last step.
Also -- per your previous comment from 25 July: it would be good to find the
scripts that output hard-coded URLs, and make those use URLConstructor or the
UrlBindingFactory. When we "throw the switch" and activate
FileBasedActionResolver, anybody who wants to specify an arbitrary URL scheme
can do so.

> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> We currently have two URLs for each ActionBean - both the Wiki.jsp and
> Wiki.action are available. Now, since the URLs are different, it has some
> nasty side-effects:
> * Users don't know which URL to bookmark, or they end up bookmarking both
> pages
> * Browsers don't know which pages are equal, and therefore both caching and
> page highlights work inconsistently
> * Bots will index both pages, therefore giving odd results
> Since one of the design maxims of 3.0 is that URLs should not change, we
> should figure out a way to get rid of the Stripes-induced *.action URLs.
