Are there any work arounds when it comes to Struts and Dynamic pages?

If every page has an action won't a crawler or spider get caught and only index the first page, but not the other pages?

Would the best alternative be to build more of a search engine friendly web site?

It depends on how you are using the struts and dynamic pages, certainly no matter what server technology you are using you can do a rewrite on the URL's so that "dynamic" isnt a problem, but I've only ever worked on one site using jacarta struts and it indexes just fine

I know that filters help hide the ugly stuff to the right of the ? in a query string with logical pages that appear to a spider (and access logs) as seperate pages. Check out caribbean-guide.info. All of the articles there are dynamic from a db.

I have a question. With all the importance of SEO, why would Struts base so much of their technology on an initial redirect? All of the tutorials I have read say to create a dummy index.jsp page that redirects the user to the action servlet. Don't they know that redirecting is the #1 no-no?!!

Does anyone know of a way around this?

I am not sure they can detect the redirect automatically, and if reported, I think the techs at Google are smart enough to realize its not an attempt at deceit.
