SES URL attempt

[Rich]

Hi All-

I've been trying to placate my employer by producing a SES friendly
version of MachII, and wanted to know if anyone else has thought of/
tried this:

Ultimately, I'd like to empower MachII to handle URLs such as:

http://www.mydomain.com/my-machii-page.cfm

(No "index.cfm?event=value")

I went poking around in a few files and found:

Application.cfc - in the onRequestStart() a <cfset
request.self="index.cfm">
Mach-II.xml - <property name="eventParameter" value="event">

Does anyone know of a way to potentially reset the request.self value
in the Application.cfc file to "#listLast(arguments.targetPage,
'/')#" (what I want is the "my-machii-page.cfm"part of my URL example
from above) and then to dynamically set the value of the
eventParameter property tag to #request.self# ?

Am I way off?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

You could perhaps do this at the web server using either mod-rewrite
or Isapi re-write

so

http://www.mydomain.com/my-machii-page.cfm
becomes

http://www.mydomain.com/index.cfm?event=my-machii-page

of course your page names would map to events...

would that work for you?

Yep, you're either going to need to do it using a URL rewriter or generate a
bunch of stub pages that set the event and call the framework (or something
funky where you use a cfm as the default error handler - think Michael
Dinowitz was talking about such an approach some time ago).

Best choice is URL rewriter as suggested by Kola - this isn't really a
Mach-II issue.

OK, thanks for the validation. I appreciate the feedback.
