Know technique for dynamic URL change

[Ramesh Sengani]

Hi,

I am working on real estate forum site where person can add there personal opinions , questions ,solutions etc.

I want to make that site SEO friendly.for that i need topic's Subject/title in url .
for coderanch Eg. https://coderanch.com/t/572347/Servlets/java/Servlet-Asynchronous-Operations

https://coderanch.com/t/572113/Web-Services/java/SOAP-REST-tightly-loosely-coupled

above url changing for each topic.how this i make possible by using java ,servlet ?

[Dhaval J. Patel]

Google search URL rewriting.

[Ulf Dittmer]

The only required part is everything up to the thread ID (https://coderanch.com/t/572113/), everything behind that is not significant and can be chosen at will (or left out altogether). So there's no "rewriting" going on here.

[Ramesh Sengani]

Yes i agree with Marshal.. But In my servlet code i make that possible.? i am not getting any idea

[Ulf Dittmer]

Making what possible? Creating URLs that contain parts which your web app simply ignores?

[Ramesh Sengani]

i need that technique in my project. how do i make that possible in project. Suggest with some good example if you can. I am using Servlet + struts2

It's a URL to which you append whatever strikes your fancy when you display it someplace. Are you asking how to do string concatenation?

[Ramesh Sengani]

I need in struts2. Is possible for you to give some small example on it

[Ulf Dittmer]

An example of what? What, specifically, are you struggling with to implement?

[I Wayan Saryada]

I think what Ramesh want is how he can create or implement a SEO friendly url in his Struts application.

[Ulf Dittmer]

But there's nothing to it. If "https://coderanch.com/t/572113/" is the integral URL, all you need to do is to set up whatever code handles "/t" URLs to extract the ID from the URL and ignore everything that comes after it.

Thanks for understanding my need Wayan..

Ulf Dittmer you are right but how can i cancat title or subject of topic before fetch. As per your suggestion "https://coderanch.com/t/572113/" based on 572113 id i will fetch topic from db. but i need url like this https://coderanch.com/t/572347/Servlets/java/Servlet-Asynchronous-Operations ,which is not possible before fetching..


Sorry i am stretching this topic but solution is really helpful for me

[Ulf Dittmer]

What do you mean by "fetching", and what does a DB have to do with non-functional parts of an URL? Wherever you want to display the URL, just append whatever you want appended, and then ignore it when interpreting it on the server. That has no bearing on how the page that's behind the URL is stored or retrieved.
