Hi Jerome,
I'm not sure to understand the whole problem...
For serving / instead of index.html that sounds to me more connected to your
apache configuration. Unless this is part of your tapestry/tomcat
application.
Well, my whole website should be served by Tomcat (later on Resin)
with an Apache front-end. I have /index.html being correctly served by
Tomcat (because my page has the proper name). But now I want to use
'/' instead of '/index.html' from everything: the url of the homepage,
the links generated to this page, etc.
Here is what I am trying to achieve for good SEO (Search Engine
Optimization): I want a 301 redirect to http://www.kalixia.com for the
domains kalixia.com, kalixia.fr and www.kalixia.fr (so far I've been
able to do it with Apache virtual hosts and mod_rewrite).
Now, for http://www.kalixia.com, I want to be able to have a 200
(content directly) instead of a 302 (default for a tapestry app with
the redirect filter). So I "cheated" a bit and used mod_rewrite in
order to rewrite http://www.kalixia.com to
http://www.kalixia.com/index.html (but this is using a 301 -- a bit
better for SEO than the 302 solution).
My problem is that search engines do see a lot of 301 going on... And
this is getting worse as most of the people linking to my website
makes a link to "http://www.kalixia.com"; and not
"http://www.kalixia.com/index.html"; (which is quite ugly).
Then for generating "/" links, there are many possibilities around... it
depends what kind of links do you want to generate "/".
You could either just implement an AbstractLink component and supply your
own ILink implementation.
I am using a simple PageLink component (I do not need to do anything
specific when the user click on the "goto home page" link). Your
solution seems to be just fine for what I need. I'm wondering though
if is better extending AbstractLink or PageLink. I guess I would
override the whole "logic" of PageLink so AbstractLink is probably
better...
Or if you want "/" for the home service for instance, I would rather
implement a ServiceEncoder.
What is the advantage over the previous solution?
I wrote several things like that for our website... I can send you some code
for either one...
I would definitely be interested in such things. That would probably
be something useful in the wiki too :-)
Nice to see other tapestry websites in France!
Well in a few weeks, I'll be able to add one more success story for a
HUGE client (I can't name it yet). The website is a learning website
(unfortunately everything will be private -- I'll make some
screenshots) which will have nearly 20 000 users with about 100
simultaneously (I'll probably need to tune things).
Anyway thanks for your help Henri.
Regards,
Jérôme.
