I think this is the relevant code, from
org.apache.turbine.util.parser.DefaultParameterParser. As I understand it,
Turbine folks avoid URLs like foo/bar?id=1812 in favor of foo/bar/id/1812.
I've never used this, and I can't remember right off exactly how the servlet
container knows which part is the path info, but essentially, they assume
that the path info follows the pattern name_1/value_1/...name_n/value_n. The
advantage is supposed to be search-engine friendly URLs from completely
dynamic applications. This gets touted by the Turbine community as a great
feature (and it may be). I'd love to have this available, but as you can see
below, it is easy enough to implement that anyone can do it as soon as they
want it. I don't really need it at the moment, so I'll let someone else do
it.

// Also cache any pathinfo variables that are passed around as

try
{
StringTokenizer st =
new StringTokenizer(request.getPathInfo(), "/");
boolean isNameTok = true;
String pathPart = null;
while (st.hasMoreTokens())
{
if (isNameTok)
{
tmp = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(st.nextToken());
isNameTok = false;
}
else
{
pathPart = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(st.nextToken());
if (tmp.length() > 0)
{
add(convert(tmp), pathPart); //R.D. this add the
params to their internal param implementation, see below*
}
isNameTok = true;
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// If anything goes wrong above, don't worry about it.
// Chances are that the path info was wrong anyways and
// things that depend on it being right will fail later
// and should be caught later.

Could you give some insights about the way Turbine handle URLs?
Any pointers?
