I'm trying to get an app running where I can have users of the site hit their home page/portal when they type http://mywebsite/ username. The users will get created automatically and user names will be unique. The questions is how do I get WO to respond to URLs like that? It'll be ok to have a redirection (to the WO app URL), but I can't think of a way to automatically generate that URL and have my WO app respond to it.

Or, even if there's no good way to have it get automatically created, it would be nice to have that kind of a link somehow. The only thing I can think of is to create the directory in the WebServer directoy and put a html page that redirects to the WO app using Direct Actions.

You need two things to make this happen: - Apache rewrite rules similar to this:

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin - [last]
RewriteRule ^/(.+) /cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyApp.woa/wa/displayUser? username=$1 [last,passthrough]


The first tells Apache not to rewrite URLs that begin with cgi-bin, the second rewrites everything else to go to the direct action displayUserAction.

- a direct action called displayUserAction, in which you will need to manually get the passed in user name from the WORequest.
