URL masking and application.cfc

2005-03-14 Thread Michael Dinowitz
I've been thinking of a new method of presenting dynamic content, specifically the list archives. At the moment you get to a single post by passing an ID on the url. Even if this is 'hidden' using SES Urls or the like, your still passing something. My idea is to use the application.cfc to 'catch'

Are you sure Application.cfc will fire for that? Because Application.cfm doesn't. cheers, barneyb On Mon, 14 Mar 2005 12:17:27 -0500, Michael Dinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been thinking of a new method of presenting dynamic content, specifically the list archives. At the moment you

I think I'm not making myself clear here. I'm speaking about a CF based url rewriter, not a generic 404 catcher. If an url is written in a specific manner (messages_4_33432) then it'll translate into a valid and expected page. This is designed as a way to format specific pages that normally would

This is pretty much exactly what I designed the FriendlyURLServlet to do. I'm in the middle of adding some functionality to that to allow you to specify a redirectHandler in web.xml that will cause all requests that match the servlet mapping to be passed directly to the handler. so if you had

And when has that stopped me from reinventing the wheel? :) The point is to see if it is possible and viable for its own sake and for usage. With FUServlet and other technologies I may not have full control over logging as to where someone came from, what they thought they went to and what the

FWIW, You should be able to get all of the information you mention below if you are using the FUServlet, but as you say, it's worthwhile to see if what you want to do is viable because it would not require the user to have control of the server and it's fun to play with ideas :-) Spike

Will application.cfc be executed whenever CF fails to find the messages_4_38946.cfm page? Theoretically it should. Unless you're using a shared server you can accomplish this by specifying a missing template handler in CF Administrator and doing the work in that CF page. I've done this
