I've been following this thread with interest and have a somewhat different
requirement. I have a desire to use a context where the delimeter for one of
the values is itself a '/'. For example:
/docs/my/path/to/doc/document1/param1/param2
I can do this by hand in a page by having onActivate(EventContext ctx) and
iterating the elements of the path. However, what if param2 is optional? Also,
it means I have to do this work manually on every page.
I realise that to make this work more generally I'd need to have another kind
of separator in there, eg:
/docs/my/path/to/doc/document1/-/param1/param2
I'd might then have a signature like:
void onActivate(DocPath path, Object param1, Object param2)
and have the T5 machinery encode/decode urls accordingly.
Is this possible or am I asking too much? This is all in a drive to having nice
looking URLs...
A simpler alternative might be to simply use a different context value
separater, eg. '-' for apps where the context values are themselves meaningful
paths. Is this possible? This would lead to a url like:
/docs/my/path/to/doc/document1-param1-param2
Which kind of works for me.
Thanks!
Alfie.

Hi Andy,
The same Encoder could indeed be used across multiple pages.
Some pointers:
You need to create one of these:
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry/ValueEncoder.html
Look at the source for one of the existing implementation for ideas, e.g.
StringEncoder
