Handle Dynamic URL in CQ

A similar approach to the one orotas mentioned: Do not use selectors, but a suffix, then you could create URLs like http://localhost/feed.xml/searchterm; the implementation is quite identical to the use of selectors, but it might give you some more flexibility.

One approach I know will work is create a page at the URL you want to use and then pass the search term in as with a selector or a query string. The template you case your page off of could be implemented as a servlet - which would potentially be cleaner given you want to generate XML. 

Hi orotas,

I tried using selectors.

URL: "localhost:4502/feed/rss.webinar.html"

Selectors work alright when extension is .html. But, when we use .xml (which is acutally required) instead of .html, selectors do not find the resource.

Note: localhost:4502/feed/rss.xml displays the resource.

Any idea?

Pjindal,

how does your code look like? It should work irrespective of the extension.

Hi Jörg,

As suggested, I created a page under /content/<site name>/us/en/public/test.

I am able to access the page using: http://localhost:4502/content/<site name>/us/en/public/test.webinar.html.

and http://localhost:4502/content/<site name>/us/en/public/test.xml.

But when I include selector in the 2nd URL, it doesn't return the page.

http://localhost:4502/content/<site name>/us/en/public/test.webinar.xml

I think you should set response content type as xml like below.

 response.setContentType("text/xml;charset=utf-8");

I tried to set Content Type but to no use. I think my problem can be solved by using suffix instead of selectors, like localhost:4502/feed.xml/[search-term].

But I would need to change extension from .xml to .html after request is submitted by the user. Can you please suggest how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi orotos,

It worked. Now am getting control on the required jsp. Thanks a lot for your input.
