As far as I understand, this one only append the product name, category name ... to the URL on the address bar, it doesn't make the URL friendly.

If it has the product name, manufacturer and category on the URL, why do you say that it isn't friendly? Search engines will pick up that information.

But the URL is not nice one, example, the different between these 2 URLs:

http://localhost:8082/konakart/SelectCat.do?catId=4&prodsFound=2&redir=true&category=Graphics%20Cards

and

http://localhost:8082/konakart/Graphics%20Cards/

It looks clean, and nice, right?

What would you want instead of this?

http://www.konakart.com/konakart/SelectProd.do?prodId=25&manufacturer=Microsoft&category=Keyboards&name=Microsoft%20Internet%20Keyboard%20PS/2&model=MSINTKB

It may as you say look cleaner, but are you sure that a search engine prefers it? You are actually presenting the search engine with less information. i.e. There is no model information and the manufacturer and category aren't spelled out as clearly.

But my boss prefers it, just kidding .

Maybe we could append the model info to the URL, example:

http://www.konakart.com/konakart/Keyboards/Microsoft/Microsoft%20Internet%20Keyboard%20PS/MSINTKB/

Anyway, I found this site, they use KonaKart too:
