[Lift] Re: fall-through redirect
Joe, See the enclosed code. The menu last menu item (see Boot.scala) is a fall through menu item that will intercept any request. The code is not as concise as Rails, but it's a corner case. Hope this helps.

[Lift] Re: fall-through redirect
If you look back through the archives I was asking a similiar thing (matching the root) ages ago and we actually ended up adding a isRecursive flag to the rewriting mech - this allows you to tell lift to stop rewriting at the first match and subsequently not get stuck in an impossible loop.

Tim, This isn't a rewriting problem, it's a sitemap problem. Maybe I'll have time today to work on it today.

I'll noodle around with some code tomorrow during down time at the Scala Lift Off (http://scalaliftoff.com) and see if I can make it more obvious. Sorry to drag another framework into it, but I think it's the best way to explain. I really like to see how other people have used other frameworks to get good results. I have a high regard for Rails and think that it is a ground-breaking and excellent tool.
