I think a better approach may be to use a filter rather than a servlet.  See this code example and this article  I'm thinking what you can do is capture the request with the filter, and then redirect to the path you want with the year/month.

Also, one thing to try out to see if the response that 403's makes it to your servlet, start AEM in debug mode locally (java -jar cq5-author-4502.jar -debug 30303) and attach a remote debugger and see if any of your code is getting executed.

I understand what your request is.Does the requesting user have permission to read/write /content/uc and /content/uc/news?

You have your servlet restricted to 2 paths, so the path that you're trying to use will be a 403 because you haven't allowed access to it.@Property(name = "sling.servlet.paths", value = { "/libs/wcm/core/content/sites/createpagewizard.html/content/uc/news/articles", "/libs/wcm/core/content/sites/cre...

I believe there is a caching issue in the Touch UI that prevents new components from showing up.  I see this issue very frequently, and it's rather annoying.  Easiest way to solve is to shut down your instance and restart it - at least until Adobe releases a fix.

Make sure the name of the tab isn't "config" - there is a permission in effect that makes contributors unable to read it - you can either rename the node, or remove the contributor role from "author" (my preferred approach is the latter, because OOTB they name some nodes "config" even though they bl...

This is still an issue and DayCare thus far have been unable to assist.One thing I noticed is that the login-token cookie generated by AEM is for session only.  I looked through the OSGI configuration console for things like "token", "login" and "authentication" to try to find a configuration where ...

You would need to deploy them as part of your apps package or content package.  The core bundle is only for OSGI.The easiest to way to achieve this would be to go create the models and launchers on 1 instance of AEM and then create a package containing the items, then put that content into your code...

I've not seen this approach taken before, however it does sound interesting so i'm going to follow this thread in case of responses.Out of curiosity, what's the monthly page views of the site in question?  Do they have spikes in traffic that would cause a situation where a new dispatcher would need ...

I can't offer a fix because i don't believe there is one for this issue (it get's posted a lot), but, a somewhat work around to make this easier on your authors would be to add a "Preview" link to the page some where, maybe affixed to the footer, that when clicked opens the current page URL with ?wc...
