+<p class="block-content">Since version 3.1.4, Prado also provides wildcard patterns to use friendly URLs 
+for a bunch of pages in a directory with a single rule. Therefore you can use the <tt>{*}</tt> wildcard
+in your pattern to let Prado know, where to find the ServiceID in your request URL. You can also specify
+parameters with these patterns if a lot of pages share common parameters.</p>

 <p id="230233" class="block-content">
 Since version 3.1.1, <tt>TUrlMapping</tt> starts to support constructing customized URLs based on the provided patterns. To enable this feature, set <tt>TUrlMapping.EnableCustomUrl</tt> to true. When <tt>THttpRequest.constrcutUrl()</tt> is invoked, the actual URL construction work will be delegated to a matching <tt>TUrlMappingPattern</tt> instance. It replaces the parameters in the pattern with the corresponding GET variables passed to <tt>constructUrl()</tt>.
