Dispatcher rewrite rule for redirection to a sling servlet

[P_V_Nair]

Can someone help me with the rewrite rule for the below scenario?

If I hit http://test.test.ca/reader?id=0f69571b-a2ce-4c04-8df8-dc46b137f677 should redirect to this url http://test.test.ca/apps/sling/servlet/asset/test-reader?id=0f69571b-a2ce-4c04-8df8-dc46b137f677, Here id is dynamic and will be different each request and apps/sling/servlet/asset/test-reader is where the resourcetype node reside for my servlet.

Hi,

If you have servlet in /apps then you need to allow anonymous user for accessing the this servlet.

Although the redirect rule is

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "^reader" "/apps/sling/servlet/asset/test-reader" [PT]

Thanks @arunpatidar . The anonymous read only access to that node is already in place and so we are good with that perspective. 

But I have a doubt in the rewrite rule. So, shouldn't add anything related to id in the rewrite rule?

Hi,

Its not needed, you can test the rule in the link which I have shared or in local dispatcher setup

Sure. Thanks a lot @arunpatidar

I had to add a slash to the above rule you gave as below

RewriteRule "^/reader""/apps/sling/servlet/asset/test-reader"[PT]

and that worked. Thanks a lit @arunpatidar
