Re: [Springframework-user] Re: [Springframework-developer] New www.springframework.org site is live!

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

The CMS here is Drupal.

It's certainly possible to handle historical URLs, and some already are. 
Most of the site is handled dynamically by Drupal, but
   /dtd
and
  /buttons
is redirected internally (invisibly) by Apache to the new
  http://static.springframework.org
site meant for completely static content like online documentation. It 
was critical to do this to not break DTD URLs and existing button links 
using the images directly from the Spring website.

There is a question of what to do this for however. The old static 
structure was somewhat adhoc and simplistic. If you look at your example
   
http://www.springframework.org/docs/api/org/springframework/web/servlet/mvc/SimpleFormController.html
there's no product name (spring base library vs. webflow vs whatever 
other lib) in there, and there's no version number. Under the new 
structure, this is available as
  
http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/1.1.5/api/org/springframework/web/servlet/mvc/SimpleFormController.html
