How can AEM add hostnames?

Hi guys,

We are seeing an issue in our production environment where links are being incorrectly substituted. Our author (and our code) only select resources from the JCR to build links. AFAIK, the links should be relative but we are actually seeing host names in the links.

For instance, if an author selects the resource /content/domain_com/en-us/locator, we expect to see the HTML:

  <a class="block-level list-item-link" href="https://forums.adobe.com/content/domain_com/en-us/locator.html" title="Locations" target="_self">Locations</a>

And in most environments, we do see that, but intermittently, we see this:

  <a class="block-level list-item-link" href="https://test-host.domain.com:4503/content/domain_com/en-us/locator.html" title="Locations" target="_self">Locations</a>

Ironically, we only see that in production.

We do have some sling redirects set up, but I'm not sure if they are the cause. My understanding is that they will only change relative paths-not add on a hostname.

The relevant sling redirect could be this:

/etc/map/http/test-host.domain.com.4503/content/panerabread_com/en-us.json

  {

"jcr:primaryType": "sling:Mapping",

"jcr:mixinTypes": [

"cq:ReplicationStatus"

],

"jcr:createdBy": "admin",

"jcr:created": "Fri May 18 2018 15:29:02 GMT-0500",

"sling:match": "en-us",

"sling:internalRedirect": [

"/content/domain_com/en-us",

"/content/domain_com/en-us/content"

]

}

But I'm not really sure.

FYI, we are running 6.3 SP1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks much!

Setup a DEBUG level logger on "org.apache.sling.resourceresolver" and compare it with a working instance.

Thanks for your prompt reply JaideepBrar. I'll try to get the logging added in production.  In the meantime, I poked around a bit and found this:

http://<publishhost>:4503/system/console/jcrresolver

There are five sections:

Configuration, Configuration Test, Resolver Map Entries, and Mapping Map Entries.

Resolver Map Entries look reasonable for the most part. They are things like:

Pattern:

https/test-host.domain.com.4503/content/domain_com/en-us

Replacement:

/content/domain_com/en-us

Redirect:

Internal

Fine. No problem. Then I look farther down at Mapping Map Entries. And I see:

Pattern:

^/content/panerabread_com/en-us/content

Replacement:

http://test-host.domain.com:4503/content/domain_com/en-us

http://another-test-host.domain.com:4503/content/domain_com/en-us

....

http://another-test-host.domain.com:4503/content/domain_com/en-us

Redirect:

external: 302

I can send a screenshot of the actual jcrresolver console, but I can't post it on the open web.

Here's the thing. We don't want any external redirects. We create all of our sling redirects as above (using sling:internalRedirect). Apparently it does both? Not sure how we can create a redirect that doesn't create a mapping both directions.

gauravb10066713​ maybe you could give me an example of how I can do this?

I need to map /content/domain_com/en-us to /en-us. So for example, http://domain.com/en-us should be redirected to directed to the resource /content/domain_com/en-us BUT all links that are to /content/domain_com/en-us should be generated as /en-us regardless of the hostname in the request.

How can I do that?


As mentioned above in the second solution, use '/domain_com/en-us/...' as the relative url in your jsp/htl script rather than '/en_us/...', that should fix your issue.
