Hi team,

Before filling an JIRA issue, I wanted to know if the following use case is actually a bug or a feature (Cocoon 2.1.11):

I have two sitemaps:

In the root sitemap, I write two pipelines:

<map:match pattern="test/**">
<map:mount src="sub/sitemap.xmap" uri-prefix="test" />
</map:match>

<map:match pattern="test2/**">
<map:generate src="cocoon://test/{1}" />
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>


In the sub sitemap, I have:

<map:match pattern="A">
<map:redirect-to uri="B" />
</map:match>

<map:match pattern="B">
    // does real stuff here
</map:match>


Now, if I call directly http://server/test/A, it correctly redirects me to http://server/test/B (the redirect is relative to the request URI and thus to the mounted sitemap), but if I call http://server/test2/A, it redirects internally to cocoon:/B (ignoring the mount), thus leading to a 404 Not Found.

Note that if I rewrite the pipeline A to redirect to cocoon:/B instead of B, it works as expected.

Technically speaking, in the first case, the redirection is made by the HttpEnvironment which rely directly on Response.sendRedirect() which, according to the servlet spec, interprets URI relative to the current requestURI if it does not begin with a '/'. In the second case, the redirection is handled by the EnvironmentWrapper created by the SitemapSource, which does not know anything about an eventual mount point when actually processing the redirection. Looking at the code, a relative redirect within a cocoon:// pipeline can only work in the same sitemap then the calling pipeline, as the redirectURL is prefixed with "cocoon:/" before processing (SitemapSource.java, revision 540711, line 366).

So my question is: is it a bug ? Or do I have to consider that this is the correct behaviour of the redirector ?

If this is considered as a bug, we could simply change the SitemapSource so that when getting a relative redirect, the URL is rewritten and the whole process is run again.
What do others think ?

Regards,
