What am I missing for this CQ5/AEM URL rewriting scenario?

Question

I basically want short URLs to get resolved and HTML pages to be generated with short URLs for a CQ5 website. So far short URLs are getting mapped to long URLs as expected, but

Answer 1

By default, CQ rewrites links in a, area and form tags. If you'd like to rewrite also paths in script tag, open OSGi configuration for LinkCheckerTransformerFactory service on publish and add following string to the Rewrite Elements option:

script:src

BTW: /content is not the best place for storing clientlibs. Usually we put this stuff in /etc/designs/YOUR_APP.

Answer 2

We finally managed to pinpoint the issue and fix this.

Somebody had added a com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl.xml under /apps/myapp/config.publish with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
    service.bad_link_tolerance_interval="{Long}48"
    service.check_override_patterns="[^.]"
    service.special_link_patterns=".*&#xa;"
    service.special_link_prefix="[javascript:,data:,mailto:,#,&lt;!--,${]"/>

I think the combination of check_override_patterns and special_link_patterns had disabled link shortening.

Removing this file made link shortening work again.
