Hi,

There is no dependency w.r.t number of slashes in the Friendly Name.

I don’t see anything wrong technically.

Did you try clearing the cache and try again OR creating / accessing a new Friendly Name say /xyz ?.

Thanks and Regards,

Atmakuri V B Pulla Rao.

Hi All,

I am having issues configuring furl

These were the steps i followed:

1> I went into /Workbench/Friendly URLs

2> I added a new Friendly URL and put the friendly name as

Friendly Name : /abc/def

Target : URL

URL:

http://xyz.com.au/ghi/aaa?module=bbb&view=ddd

3> I went into the browser and typed in

http://xyz.com.au/abc/def in the address bar.

4> furl redirected me to the appropriate location and it worked as expected.

5> I then tried configuring a new friendly url:

Friendly Name : /abc

Target : URL

URL:

http://xyz.com.au/ghi/aaa?module=bbb&view=ddd

6> I went into the browser and typed in

http://xyz.com.au/abc in the address bar.

7> furl forwarded me into an unknown location.

BAsically the business requirement is to get into hte appropriate location by

just putting in

http://xyz.com.au/abc and that does not work till now.

is the mapping redirect url dependent on the number of slashes i put in hte friendly name? Do they have to be the same?

Thanks,

Ayan

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

Do we need to clear the dpm cache? Would the furl cache get cleared if we clear the dpm cache or are the separate?

BTW,

the log output for the instance when it works is

[2011-09-09 15:06:08,208][DEBUG][com.vignette.ext.furl.cache.URLMappingCacheImpl] - Mapping obtained from the cache for friendlyURL:/<site>/abc/def. Mapping=/abc/def=com.vignette.ext.furl.javabean.MappedUrl@1f9aa3

and

for the instance when it does not work is

[2011-09-09 15:00:51,168][DEBUG][com.vignette.ext.furl.cache.URLMappingCacheImpl] - Mapping obtained from the cache for friendlyURL:/BupaP3/abc. Mapping=null

Any ideas what controls that?

Thanks,

Ayan

Yes, FURL cache gets cleared with the DPM cache.

Remove the contents from “<install>\vcm\inst-test\cfgagent\vcm-test\cdsvcs\stage-mgmt\cds-mgmt\as\dpm\cache\ObjectCache” folder.

Thanks and Regards,

Pulla Rao Atmakuri.

Hi,

Can you please give FURL version details ?. is it a OOTB FURL ? The property you have mentioned below doesn’t exist in OOTB FURL.

Thanks and Regards,

Pulla Rao
