Description

There's a scenario for an application that uses snippets of URL templates that do not have all the default required tokens. The default required tokens are defined in the TemplatedURLFormatter class for the template support in NetUI URL rewriting. A developer can provide an extension to TemplatedURLFormatter and override the set of required tokens for all templates in the web app. However, the desired enhancement would be to have an optional flag on a template by template basis in beehive-url-template-config.xml and be able to basically say it doesn't need to verify that the template contains required tokens.

This enhancement implies modifying the url-template-config.xsd by adding a new optional element in the <url-template>, but does not invalidate previously valid documents.

Here's a brief thread in the beehive dev list about the schema change...
