VanityPath and ResourceResolver#map

[Antonio Sanso <as...@adobe.com>]

hi *,

I would have a question about VanityPath and ResourceResolver#map .
Assuming I have a resource /content/foo/bar with a  vanity path set ti /bar .
AFAICS if I try to do  ResourceResolver#map("/content/foo/bar”) the expectation give by the ResourceResolver#map API would be that this would return “/bar" .
Unfortunately this is not the case . This is still returning "/content/foo/bar” .
It looks like  this mapping mechanism works fine for alias and etc/map but not for vanity path. 
AFAICR this has been like this since the begin (aka no regression) 
My question is this a bug or is by design ?

I hope someone can clarify this…

regards

antonio

Really ? This might be debatable. But I would not remember having used this as a design criteria.

In any case, I just realize it indeed was never the case: We always only created the resolve() mapping but not the map() mapping.


I could have sworn we had support for mapping vanity URLs. Ok, so I stand corrected.

Right, they might not be as "stable" as a mapping, e.g /latestnews might
point to page A now, but to page B in three hours.

Hi,
IIUC, this is by design. Vanity paths are intended for inbound use only.
