AEM website and URL truncation using jcr resource resolver and/or etc map and/or apache mod_rewrite

Question

This is regarding the basic setup for a website to show as follows

Dispatcher direct URL of the site: devdispatcher.com/content/mytestsite/index.html (devdispatcher.com is a virtualhost on my dispatcher)

IN order to access the above site using the following URL.

http://www.mytestsite.com

I have configured my hosts file to point to my local IP and I would like to know what exactly I need to do on JCRresolver and apache.

also devdispatcher.com/content/mytestsite/articles/article-2017.html should be accessible using

http://www.mytestsite.com/articles/article-2017.html

For the above what is best method of implementation. Do we have any example or step by step procedure any where.

Some articles says etc map and some resourceresolver and some apache. I am confused. Any article which has a recommended direction much appreciate.

Thanks.

Hi,In your case I would recommend to use both dispatcher/webserver and /etc/map approach:On the webserver use mod_rewrite (or similar) to rewrite http://www.mytestsite.com/articles/article-2017.html to http://www.mytestsite.com/content/mytestsite/articles/article-2017.html (no redirect!); then the request can be handled properly by AEMOn AEM side you need to use /etc/map so the links are rewritten correctly.Sadly I don't have a good documentation available.Jörg
