Generally mapper is opposite of dispatcher:

dispatcher: URL -> application
mapper:     "application" (by name) -> URL


Read this:

  http://art-blog.no-ip.info/cppcms_ref_v0_99/classcppcms_1_1url__mapper.html#_details

Unfortunately there is no url mapping tutorial yet, but the reference
documentation of this feature should be quite full.

Also take a look on message board example in the sources for use
of URL mapper.

Ask again if you have further questions after reading this.
