Custom Sitemap Generator - Sitemap generating relative urls and not absolute

[asdasdsa]

Hi all,

currently we are set up with a custom sitemap generator that builds the xml files manually and stores it as an asset within the dam. XML files are coming out great except for one issue - we're seeing the relative urls rather than the absolute that are generated on demand through a servlet.

For the custom sitemap generator, we needed a scheduled osgi service so we transitioned to that. But applying the same logic, we're seeing relative urls being returned.

code example:

                //Create sitemap entry for each content path that is not marked hidden by authors
                for (Hit hit : result.getHits()) {
                    String path = hit.getPath();
                    Resource resource = resourceResolver.getResource(path);
                    Page page = null;
                    if (resource != null) {
                        page = resource.adaptTo(Page.class);
                    }
                    RobotsPageModel robotsPage = null;
                    if (page != null && page.getContentResource() != null) {
                        robotsPage = page.getContentResource().adaptTo(RobotsPageModel.class);
                    }
                    if (robotsPage != null &&
                            !robotsPage.isNoIndex() &&
                            !robotsPage.isHideNav()) {
                        String url = pageTreeSitemapGenerator.getCanonicalUrl(page).replaceFirst("^/[^/]+/[^/]+", "").replace(".html", "");
                        StringBuilder entry = urlEntries.getOrDefault(url, new StringBuilder());
                        entry.append(URL_TAG + "\n");
                        entry.append(LOC_TAG).append(url).append(LOC_CLOSING_TAG + "\n");
                        addLastMod(entry, page);
                        addAlternates(entry, page, pageTreeSitemapGenerator);
                        addContentType(entry, page);
                        entry.append(URL_CLOSING_TAG + "\n");
                        urlEntries.put(url, entry);
                    }
                }
        
                for (StringBuilder entry : urlEntries.values()) {
                    writer.append(entry.toString());
                }

we did notice that when logging, we saw the urls within the author instance showing as relative compared to the published logs as absolute.

You can try using an externalizer to form an absolute URL. Please refer the following URL - https://medium.com/@toimrank/aem-sitemap-externalize-and-extension-less-url-be916490d2c6
