Is Alfresco Google-friendly?

[miridoi]

Alfresco uses Myfaces JSF implementation, and my question are:
these url paths are Google crawler-fliendly?
i need to use a SiteMap to make easier to crawler indexer?
is possible/necessary to use any rail mode path conversion in it?

Thanks in advance!!

Unfortuntely JSF is not very "google" (i.e. url walking) friendly However Some parts of Alfresco use servlets which have defined URLs e.g. all URLs to content are walkable, but navigation paths to the various screens in the app etc. using JSF are not at present.

Cheers,

Then i can/need to use a UrlRewrite to translate my desired url path to Alfresco JSF path?

As shown in the following translation rule that is using tukey.org's UrlRewriteFilter:

<rule>
    <name>World Rule</name>
    <note>
        Cleanly redirect world requests to JSP,
        a country and city must be specified.
        </note>
    <from>^/world/([a-z]+)/([a-z]+)$</from>
    <to>/world.jsp?country=$1&amp;city=$2</to>
</rule>

from http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

Thanks!!

Unfortuntely not, the JSF pages have simple URLs but a HTTP POST is used to move between them, so two different looking pages can have the same URL. If you click about in Alfresco web-client and watch the URL in the address bar you'll see what i mean (e.g. it will mostly look the same!)
