Re: Struts and Google

[Brice Ruth]

Just an FYI, though - I'm not sure on Google, but many search engines 
don't support cookies, and get tripped up on the jsessionid parameter 
that commonly used application servers (like Tomcat) put in your URLs 
and image references when using things like html:link and html:img. Our 
local search engine got totally hosed with this, so I implemented a 
filter that loads a list of common search engine user-agent strings, and 
if it detects access from one of those, it disables URL-rewriting on the 
HttpServletResponse that is passed to the ActionServlet.

Hi all,

I've searched the archives on this topic, but would appreciate any up 
to date advice. I have my actions forwarding to my jsps in my WEB-INF 
folder. Thus my jsps are protected from direct access. However I 
obviously want my site to get as high a rating on google and other 
search engines as possible. Now I have heard differing reports that 
google can list dynamic sites and also that it cannot. I would very 
much like to know people's experience with this.

If the answer is that google cannot crawl a struts site like this, 
then I'd very much appreciate user's previous approaches to this problem.

thanks very much,
Brian
