I want to use the #!
token to make my GWT application crawlable, as described here:
http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/
There is a GWT sample app available online that uses this, for example: http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwRadioButton
Will serve the following static webpage to the googlebot: http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html?_escaped_fragment_=CwRadioButton
I want my GWT app to do something similar. In short, I'd like to serve a different flavor of the page whenever the _escaped_fragment_
parameter is found in the URL.
What should I modify in order for the server to serve something else (a static page, or a page dynamically generated through a headless browser like HTML Unit)? I'm guessing it could be the web.xml
file, but I'm not sure.
(Note: I thought of checking the Showcase app provided with the GWT SDK, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to support serving static files on _escaped_fragment_
and it doesn't use the #!
token..)
