URL shortening in AEM 6.3

in AEM 6.3, we define the URL mapping in the JcrResourceResolverFactoryImpl.config.xml file. When author selects a content URL as a path in the component dialog,

if we render the url as <a href="${link.url@ extension = 'html'}">, the AEM automatically shortens the url. However, if we remove the extension <a href="${link.url}">, the AEM doesn't shorten the URL.

Just wonder if anyone knows if there is a linker check related configuration to tell adobe only shorten the url when the path has .html?

Thanks.

    The URL shortening is a function of the LinkRewriter, and this rewriter acts only links containing an extension. If you omit the extension (e.g. ".html") it's not rewritten.

      Add an exception to the link checker to tell it to ignore certain URL patterns. To do this, do the following:

      1. Log into http://[host]:[port]/crxde as admin
      2. If you do not already have a custom link checker configuration in your application then copy the node /libs/cq/linkchecker/config.author/com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl to /apps/[yourapp]/config/com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl
      3. Select the config node com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl
      4. On the bottom of the right pane, expand the Properties tab
      5. Double click service.check_override_patterns
      6. Add another override pattern for the URL that is being marked invalid
        For Example: if the broken links are all URLs with the hostname www.mycompany.com, then your override pattern would be: ^http://www.mycompany.com/.*
      7. Delete any nodes under /var/linkchecker corresponding to the invalid link's host
        For Example: following the example in the last step, we would delete /var/linkchecker/http/www.mycompany.com
      8. Click Save All

      Thanks Hermant.

      I think Jörg answered my question. Your approach will work for single site, I have multiple sites, don't want to put something only applying for one site.

      Thanks again.
