Still a bit of a GWT noob here but making progress using Activities and Places as described by Google here.
I understand that a Place's "URL consists of the Place's simple class name (like "HelloPlace") followed by a colon (:) and the token returned by the PlaceTokenizer.
Can I somehow remove the colon when I don't have a token to send?
For example, I'm fine with a URL like this "#editPerson:2" when I need to work with PersonId=2. But what about when I just want to present a blank Person form? In that case I would prefer to use "#addPersonForm" rather than "#addPersonForm:"
Any suggestions (even better code suggestions) would be most appreciated!
You can provide your own PlaceHistoryMapper (without using the generator) as already suggested by Boris_siroB, or you can do it within a PlaceTokenizer with an empty prefix: with an empty prefix, there won't be a colon, and the tokenizer can do whatever you want. If you totally distinct places, make it a tokenizer of Place, so it's also the "catchall" for getToken. That way you can keep all the advantages of the generation with prefixes, PlaceTokenizers and WithTokenizers (if you want to take advantage of them)
