Redirect Manager - AEM SPA not working

[anshul-goyal-1]

Required Information

• [ ] AEM Version, including Service Packs, Cumulative Fix Packs, etc: 6.0.4
• [ ] ACS AEM Commons Version:6.0.4
• [ ] Reproducible on Latest? yes

Expected Behavior

While setting up the redirect via the Redirect Manager,I need to add a redirect and after publish can redirect to the source page. We are using AEM SPA based implementation

Actual Behavior

When I add a redirect, the page goes blank.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the ACS Commons on AEM cloud service
2. Create a redirect from a source "/test/" to destination - "https://www.google.com"
3. Publish the redirect
4. Try to access the redirect via publisher (http://localhost:4503/test/)

I get the blank page rather than it navigates to the destination page

Do you have Sling Mappings to resolve /test/ to a full path , e.g. /content/my-site/en/test ?

If not, use the full JCR path, e.g. instead of /test/ the source should be /content/my-site/en/test

[anshul-goyal-1]

The use case is that there is no physical page in AEM with a full path that resolves to /test/, In the e-commerce application, we need to apply the rules to /test/ category which is coming from the commerce engine and then re-direct it to a place in AEM. So I can put a destination to a full path like /content/my-site/en/new-landing but the source will not be a page/location within AEM.

Redirect Manager config: /test/ - http://localhost:4503/new-test

Sling Mappings:

1. For model.json sling:match- localhost.4503/(new-test)/(.*).model.json internal-redirect:/content/my-site/en/$1.model.json
2. For actual HTML sling:match- localhost.4503/(new-test)(.*)$ internal-redirect:/content/my-site/en/$1.html

So the question is if I need to do the /etc/mapping then what's the use of the redirect manager?

[YegorKozlov]

by default the Redirect Filter listens to /content/* requests:

change it to an empty string to listen from the root.

(the value "/" won't work, it's a bug which I'm going to fix)

with these settings it worked to me:

curl -I  http://localhost:4503/test
HTTP/1.1 302 Found

Thanks for the prompt reply and are you planning to release the fix for "/" soon or is there a roadmap for the same.

Thanks for the prompt reply and are you planning to release the fix for "/" soon or is there a roadmap for the same.

I'll try to include the fix in the upcoming 6.0.9
