Eg Marketing URLs 'activities', 'contact', 'foo'
/activities/* /contact/* /foo/*
everything else
/do/*
Or you could wrap a filter around the /activities/*, /contact/*, /foo/* mappings and forward to the correct action.

The reason I don't like extension mapping is because I think path-mapping (/do/*) is cleaner. Also, I like using path-mapping b/c then we can add parameters and they look like regular URLs.
For example - extension mapping:
http://site.com/activities.do?activity=fishing or http://site.com/activities.do?fishing
path-mapping:
http://site.com/do/activities/fishing
And then in our "activities" action, we can do a check (request.getPathInfo()) to see if we should serve up the "fishing" page vs. the general activities one.
Thanks to all for your opinions and practices.

I use .Whatever, where that is some marketing term that is acceptable.

How about a hack: *.jsp It looks as jsp on top.... but it's a do. Or you can even say *.asp, or anything. Just pick a word marketing likes.

I agree with you - however, it's a marketing thing. The project I'm on
has
implemented a lot of folder/index.html (with meta-refresh) so that
marketing
materials have pretty URLs. I was simply hoping to accomplish this
without
doing anything extra - so http://site.com/do/activities can be put into marketing materials as http://site.com/activities. Maybe we could have marketing use http://site.com/activities/index.html and then use a filter (mapped to *.html) to do a redirect to http://site.com/do/activities.

The important principle here is "Web Application != Web Site". If your users feel compelled to use bookmarks and the back button in your webapps, despite efforts to train them correctly, this is a pretty good sign that you have not provided enough suitable navigation controls in your basic UI.
