How to have more than 1 rewrite.rules FOLDERS but not files in aem as a cloud dispatcher

Hello,

 

I'm using Flexible mode mode (opt-in/USE_SOURCES_DIRECTLY) for my dispatcher configs in the AEM cloud, and when I try to add a custom FOLDER to conf.d/rewrites,

e.g

(conf.d/rewrites/CUSTOM_FOLDER_A/CUSTOM_REWRITE_FOR_A.rules)

(conf.d/rewrites/CUSTOM_FOLDER_B/CUSTOM_REWRITE_FOR_B.rules)

 

I see the following error while executing in the console.

"cp: can't create CUSTOM_FOLDER/CUSTOM_REWRITE.rules"

 

But when I add CUSTOM_REWRITE.rules right under conf.d/rewrites/ it works 

 

The problem only with additional folders under rewrites directory

My goal is to have multiple rewrite configurations for each web site and each website should have its own directory under conf.d/rewrites/ 

Example :

conf.d/rewrites/SITE-A/...

conf.d/rewrites/SITE-B/...

 

Do u have any idea how can I resolve this issue?

    @arturgrigoryan No that won't work in AEMaaCS. I have mentioned the same reason in the about comment.

     

    Below link is the Adobe Open sourced AEM dispatcher docker container  (Just FYI)

    @arturgrigoryan I faced this issue 🙂 

     

    In AEMaaCS the dispatcher is managed by Adobe and there are certain restrictions on what can be configured by customers. This includes the ability to write custom rewrite rules in the dispatcher.

     

    The reason for this restriction is to ensure the security and stability of the AEMaacs platform. Adobe manages the dispatcher configuration to ensure that it meets the security standards and best practices of the platform. Allowing customers to write custom rewrite rules could potentially introduce security vulnerabilities or cause the dispatcher to behave in unexpected ways, which could impact the overall stability of the platform.

     

    But you can write the custom rules by putting it directly in rewrite.rules file

      Hello ,

       

      Thank you for you reply.

      I have already configured as you said my custom rules in rewrite.rules file

      But I would like to know if it's possible to have custom folders under conf.d/rewrites

      I include all rewrite rules from .vhost file

       

      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

       

      RewriteEngine on

      Include conf.d/rewrites/rewrite.rules

      Include conf.d/rewrites/CUSTOM.rules

      #MY QUESTION : AND HERE I WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS,IS IT POSSIBLE?

      Include conf.d/rewrites/CUSTOM_FOLDER/CUSTOM.rules

       

      </IfModule>

       

      Usually it should work like that since I specifically say from which path to take my configurations

      But for me when I try to execute this I see error
