Using Sling Mappings for resource mapping and resolving

[Dave_Hughes]

We are trying to use Sling Mappings to map incoming requests to the correct resource, as well as outgoing links to the public (/aliased) URLs.

Our sites exist under /content/c-<sitename> and are accessible at www.organization.com/<sitename>;.  Our localized content lives in parallel subtrees for each locale (pt_PT, es_ES, etc), but we wish to enforce the notion of a default locale which is omitted from the request path.  Some scenarios are (assuming default local is de_DE):

1) www.organization.com/<sitename>/                    <--->   /content/c-<sitename>/de_DE 2) www.organization.com/<sitename>/machines.html       <--->   /content/c-<sitename>/de_DE/machines 3) www.organization.com/<sitename>/de_DE/machines.html <--->   (301 Redirect) www.organization.com/<sitename>/machines.html 4) www.organization.com/<sitename>/fr_FR.html          <--->   /content/c-<sitename>/fr_FR 5) www.organization.com/<sitename>/fr_FR/machines.html <--->   /content/c-<sitename>/fr_FR/machines

Our current mappings are configured for this particular <sitename>:

{ sling: internalRedirect: "/content/c-sitename", jcr: primaryType: "sling:Mapping", sling: match: "www.organization.com/sitename", de_DE_root: { sling: internalRedirect: ["/content/c-sitename/de_DE.html"], jcr: primaryType: "sling:Mapping", sling: match: "$" }, de_DE_redirect: { sling: redirect: "/sitename/$1", sling: match: "de_DE/(.+)$", jcr: primaryType: "sling:Mapping" }, de_DE_pages: { sling: internalRedirect: ["/content/c-sitename/de_DE/$1"], jcr: primaryType: "sling:Mapping", sling: match: "(.+)$" }, other_pages: { sling: internalRedirect: ["/content/c-sitename/$1"], jcr: primaryType: "sling:Mapping", sling: match: "([a-z]{2}_[A-Z]{2}/.+)$" } }

Given those mappings, we have satisfied all scenarios above for resource resolving.  The reverse mappings are working except for one, which corresponds to scenarios #2/#3.  For pages under the default locale (de_DE), we would like the outgoing links to be rewritten without the locale.  Currently:

/content/c-<sitename>/de_DE  --->  www.organization.com/<sitename>/  working /content/c-<sitename>/de_DE/machines  --->  www.organization.com/<sitename>/machines.html  not working (includes /de_DE) /content/c-<sitename>/de_DE/tools  --->  www.organization.com/<sitename>/tools.html  not working (includes /de_DE)

And the generated mappings (from Felix console: /system/console/jcrresolver):

Mapping Map Entries ^/content/c-sitename/de_DE.html$    http://www.local.com:4502/sitename/ external: 302    (mapping: de_DE_root) ^/content/c-sitename http://www.local.com:4502/sitename external: 302    (mapping: other_pages)

What is necessary to generate the missing mapping (and ensure that is takes precedence over ^/content/c-sitename):

^/content/c-sitename/de_DE    http://www.local.com:4502/sitename     external: 302    (mapping: de_DE_pages)

Thanks!
