Ben,
Is this not just a problem of limiting the possibilities of URL bindings for
an action bean? We could limit those binding by adding extra UrlBinding
constraints. For example:
@UrlBinding("/{$member}/{$event}/{$id}")
@UrlBindingParamRange("member", {"member", "miembro", "membro"})
The URL generation is then the same as always, you just need to add the
correct parameters when generating an URL.
Kind regards,
Karen
