Alternative Web Client which supports Bookmarking, etc?

[stk137]

Is there any other alternative web clients available?
I am looking for something that supports bookmarking by having the URLs change as you browse from node to node.  (and keeping the tree would say in sync this way as well.)  

Even if someone has a buillt a web client with classic web navigation features, but without all of Alfresco's features, I'd like to know about it before I start building my own or abandon Alfresco altogether.

What's causing the loss of the standard web paradigm functionality in Alfresco's (official/default) web client?
JSF or AJAX or both?

thanks,

Steve

The reason is the nature of the JSF web framework unfortunately. We have built a special servlet that supports bookmarkable URLs for space navigation, document bookmarks and a few other common pages:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/URL_Addressability

You see these bookmarks exposed in say the Document details screen (hover over the hrefs in the Links panel).

Hope this helps,

Kevin

Thanks for the warning on JSF.  I guess I'll avoid JSF as long as I can.

I was aware of the steps necessary to getting an external URL, but users find that confusing/annoying.  So I am trying to fix that and was hoping to extend someone else's work rather than reinvent the wheel.
