Answer 1

For this issue, you need to use PathLocationStrategy or HashLocationStrategy for your application. It's available in the 'angular2/router'.

Example for using HashLocationStrategy:

boot.ts

bootstrap(AppCmp, [
       ROUTER_PROVIDERS,
       provide(LocationStrategy, {useClass: HashLocationStrategy})
   ]);

and in your main component,

class AppCmp {
          constructor(location: Location) {
          location.go(location.path());
       }

The location.path() dynamically gives the path for the page to be loaded.
