Rewrite Rules in AEM Dispatcher are not working for AEM - React SPA

We are using AEM - React as a SPA.
The Rewrite Rules which are configured for URL shortening were not working with this AEM-React SPA.

We have made some changes in HierarchyPageImpl class so that :path will be specific to the short URL. And the changes are working fine.

But, we have a new use case where we a URL for which there will be different values for a query param. And based on that I need to load a specific page.
Ex:

When users access the below URLs, I need to check the param value and rewrite the rule based on that.

I am able to load those pages but the content for them is still on https://domain/abc page.

https://domain/abc?page=page1

https://domain/abc?page=page2

Below are the Rules I have configured:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/abc [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=page1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /content/page1.html [L,PT]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/abc [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=page2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /content/page2.html [L,PT]

I am not able to figure out how this can be handled.

Hi @papenaarun

If I understand the requirement, based on query param you want to redirect to some destination?

for both the query param the destination URL is same or different?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/abc
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=page1$
RewriteRule (.*) /somepage [R=302,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/abc
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=page2$
RewriteRule (.*) /someotherpageurl [R=302,L]

302 can be updated with 301 once the development is completed.

Thanks!

Not redirect. It should be Rewrite. User end URL shouldn't change. I have already configured and internally page is getting loaded for that. But, the content is not changing as it depends on model.json

Hi,

I think your rules look fine, it just SPA app is not able to find out the pass-through link instead using the original requested link. TEST RESULT

Yes. For SPA entire page content is based on <pagename>model.json. And this will called internally from clientlib-react. While rewriting the URL in dispatcher page will be loaded but the model.json will be of the page which we are accessing from the browser.
