Hi Team,

Expecting the correct answer.

Which attribute must be present in all filter rules in AEM dispatcher configuration?

1. /glob

2. /type

3. /url

Thanks.

Hello,

You can refer the official dispatcher documentation for details - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-c..., but it looks to be the /type attribute that must be present in all filter rules.

Thanks

Hi @JakeCham, 

The AEM dispatcher configuration attribute that must be present in all filter rules is "/type" only.

Thanks.

A filter is meant to convey allow or deny. So, /type is required.

/url and /glob are for pattern matching. Filtering with globs is deprecated in Dispatcher. As such, you should avoid using globs in the /filter sections since it may lead to security issues. So, instead of:

/glob "* *.css *"

use

/url "*.css"

So, you can use either of them or use /path instead. refer to https://blog.developer.adobe.com/writing-better-aem-dispatcher-filters-f23b391624a9
