Description

We currently have two URLs for each ActionBean - both the Wiki.jsp and Wiki.action are available. Now, since the URLs are different, it has some nasty side-effects:

• Users don't know which URL to bookmark, or they end up bookmarking both pages
• Browsers don't know which pages are equal, and therefore both caching and page highlights work inconsistently
• Bots will index both pages, therefore giving odd results

Since one of the design maxims of 3.0 is that URLs should not change, we should figure out a way to get rid of the Stripes-induced *.action URLs.
