Hi Vjeran, I just want to clarify. I'm not against name shortening in general. I actually think it's a very good idea. In T4, all of my page names essentially match my class names (although, this was configurable via the page spec and I do take advantage of that on occasion) and the result is beastly URLs. For internal sites, it's really not a problem. For public ones, it's a pain in the neck.
So, I generally like what T5 has done. What I raised as issues I think are just artifacts of an alpha codebase. I'd hope that those issues would be addressed before a public release. Once fixed, I largely see your problems going away. So long as you always use one of the link components, you really shouldn't worry that much about how Tapestry names the URLs (granted, there are exceptions for acegi and what not). I guess having an option to disable the feature wouldn't hurt any, but I think you're misdiagnosing the problem. -- Kevin On 11/15/07 12:48 PM, in article [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Vjeran Marcinko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello. > > I can really speak from position of someone who just is learning Tapestry 5 > for first time, and from what Kevind Menard mentioned in few mails before, I > can really see page name shortening as nothing but confusion and > complication. > > Referencing pages is quite straightforward, and one just have to look what > sub-package it is conatined in, and what name of page class is, and ta-dah! > Mabe this sufix stripping (in case when suffix is same as package) would not > bother me so much if it is optional, although I would still see no reason to > complicate perfectly straightforward and simple naming just for sake of few > letters, but since it is mandatory, I really have to think for a moment when > referencing them in PageLinks for instance. > Moreover, I stated case in my previous mail when I had class: > com.mycompany.myapp.pages.users.Users > and when Tapestry reported error because I should reference "users/" instead > of "users/Users" :( > > Opinions ? > > Regards, > Vjeran > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
