> Henrik,
>         <page id="ops-test-page" path-info="/ops-test/([^\/]+)/([^\/]+)"
>                 matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher"
>                 view="/pages/ops-test/${2}.${1}"/>

> This URL is similar to what you need, it matches anything with
> /ops-test/blah/blah. It then looks in the directory oxf:/pages/ops-test for
> a file with a name of the second param and extension of the first param.
> Obviously this could be a static file that processes all calls
>
> You can use <setvalue ref="" matcher="1"/> to store the values in an
> instance which can be provided by default-submission attribute

> Something like
>
>         <page id="ops-test-page" path-info="/some-url/([^\/]+)/([^\/]+)"
>                 matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher"
>                 default-submission="oxf:/user-instance.xml"
>                 view="/pages/load-user-data.xpl">
>                 <setvalue ref="/instance/user" matcher="1"/>
>                 <setvalye ref="/instance/id" matcher="2"/>
>         </page>
>
> With your default instance being something along the lines of
>
> <instance>
>   <user/>
>   <id/>
> </instance>
