[opencms-dev] Howto have a tree structure but server flat urls

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Assaf, 

just a high level thought: 

Your requirement: 

- will create some mapping from URLS to files within the OpenCms VFS which might be unknown by editors: They might be confused where to find the page in OpenCms for an URL where they see something they have to change. 

- will cost you time to implement, educate editors and fix bugs. 

- might cause bugs. 


Is it an option to put all those files flat into OpenCms? With that solution: 

- you don't have to write code. 
- the mapping between URL and OpenCms VFS stays 1-1. 


I'd work on the given requirement. 

cheers, 

Achim
