It does this (and don't ask me why) by mixing a POST and GET request to pass the parameters needed to show the correct timetable. So, e.g. the users visits the URL  /Timetable.jsp/school=MySchool which contains a form. The user then selects the class in a form, which is then sent to the server as a POST request to Timetable.jsp/school=MySchool.

There's no support for this.
