Best way to customize resourceResolver behavior

[Former Community Member]

Given an AEM 5.6.1 environment, what's the best way to use request headers to generate a resource path prefix?

For instance, suppose the locale is provided via httpRequest.getHeader("locale"), and our content is organized in the following tree:

en_US/homepage.html

ja_JP/homepage.html

How would you take a request for /homepage.html and internally prepend the locale retrieved from httpRequest.getHeader("locale")?

I didn't see anything there that uses HTTP request headers for mapping.  Did I miss something?

Hi ofuangka,

   JCR resolver & mapping con't resolve at run time and configuration should exist prior. For your use case one of the option is to use apache rewrite rule. 

Thanks,
