Dynamic URL mapping (/foo/bar -> /foo?obj=bar)

Looking at the recipie for dynamically adding objects to a
tree... it's
almost what I need:

    http://www.cherry
py.org/wiki/Attach

The issue is that there would be a lot of objects to add --
too many,
in fact. I need more of a dynamic lookup kind of deal, where
a method
is called on 404 or something. I've considered doing a
mod_rewrite that
would be like /foo/bar -> /foo?obj=bar, but that
precludes dynamic
development directly with cherrypy's webserver.

Thoughts?

I think all you need is a default method.

cherrypy.expose
def default(self, item):
    return self.index(obj=item)

Aha! I found that you can make a filter that modifies
cherrypy.request.object_path. Is this the correct way to do
it?
