Not sure if the landing page is static, has parameters etc and what you want to do afterwards. Assume you need to render some template and the landing page is not static (if it is you could just use a normal Loc) I would probably wrap the landing page in a RewriteRequest, and when a match is made, do the user creation/lookup thing and then just render the template. Tim wrote and article about rewriting http://blog.getintheloop.eu/2009/5/3/url-rewriting-with-the-lift-framework Also, I've been using the Locs from CRUDify as an example of how to do more custom-type Locs with rewriting..... /Jeppe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
