Yes, I like this idea too.

Is there any chance of reusing path parameter stuff from errai-jaxrs? I feel like it would be nice if Errai Navigation used the same syntax (and impl!) as JAX-RS for doing this.

As for URL rewriting, I also like that idea. I guess it’s somewhat related to Eric’s proposal, but it will also depend on using HTML5 history.pushState() in order to remove the hash on browsers that support it. Johannes Barop has an implementation of this that claims to be mostly compatible with GWT’s History class:

https://github.com/jbarop/gwt-pushstate/

I think it should be possible to tackle path parameters with hashes, then hash elimination (rewrite-and-pushState support) as a separate follow-on item. Does that make sense?

Yes, this would be extremely useful. Also take a look at this:

I think it could be useful to integrate (or do something like) this.

Hi,

I think this would be a great addition. Other frameworks (i.e. Angular.js) support that.

Cheers,
