I hope this requirement is for publish environment where you want to remove /content directory. Have you explored /etc/map or resource resolver factory configuration

Yes this is required for the publish instance. have done 301 re-redirection using apche re-write rules. When i am browsing the page to like the particular page then content will be part of link.. How to get rid of this?

You need to rewrite the links on your page using Sling rewriter. You can refer the following example which is similar to your use case - http://www.cqblueprints.com/tipsandtricks/serving-static-assets-alt-url.html

Hi

Adding to what Tomar suggested:-

Please have a look at these reference links:-

Link 1:- http://blogs.adobe.com/contentmanagement/2013/08/20/how-to-change-aems-redirection-http-status-code/

//

Redirection of request URLs in AEM can be configured at the Sling level, typically in the mapping configuration under /etc/map node. Depending on the requirements, there are times when customers would like to change the default HTTP status code for redirection. And here you will find two ways of changing the status code:

The sling:status way

Documented in http://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/mappings-for-resource-resolution.html already, you may use sling:status property to set a specific status code for a particular redirection. To extend the example given on the page linked above:

/etc/map
      +-- http
           +-- example.com.80
           |    +-- sling:redirect = "http://www.example.com/"
           |    +-- sling:status = "301"

Via OSGi configuration

Another way, which really sets the default for all redirection, is to configure the status code at the OSGi bundle level. In the OSGi console, browse the the Configuration page and locate:

Apache Sling Resource Resolver Factory

and change the redirect status field to whatever status code is appropriate (highlighted in diagram below).

Link 2:- http://aem-cq-tutorials.blogspot.in/2014/06/mapping-of-request-urls-in-cqaem.html

//

Problem 1:

Say we need to convert the URL like: www.example.com --> converts to --> /content/mysite/en/

Sol 1:- <map>
           <http jcr:primaryType="sling:OrderedFolder">
                <www.example.com 
                    jcr:primaryType="sling:Mapping"
                    sling:internalRedirect="/content/mysite/en"/>
            </http>
        </map>

 

Validation :- Once we save these changes, we can check to see if everything is working as expected using the Sling Resource Resolver page in the System Console (ie. http://localhost:4502/system/console/jcrresolver).

            

I hope this will help you.

Thanks and Regards

 Here is complete code for removing the /content from the html source. This is very common use case to remove the /content from page source.
