Can you check if the mapping was actually applied by AEM: - Go to http://<host>:<port>/system/console/jcrresolver- Under "Mapping Map Entries", check if the entries are appearing there. You can also setup a DEBUG logger on "org.apache.sling.resourceresolver" to check how the resolution is happening ...
