Jason Rose updated SLING-1432:
------------------------------
Attachment: UuidFilter.java
This is the filter I'm using.
> Unable to Forward to Images via a Filter
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-1432
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1432
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions, Servlets
> Reporter: Jason Rose
> Attachments: UuidFilter.java
>
>
> In my current application, I store nodes with the name of the node being a
> uuid generated by a sproutcore client. Because this doesn't directly lend
> itself to a deep node hierarchy, I have a filter in place that buckets these
> uuids into two more levels based on the first four characters in the uuid.
> I'd like this process to be transparent to the front end, so I use the filter.
> The filter itself is very simple. It checks the request.getPathInfo() for
> any uuids, buckets them according to a built-in strategy, then uses the
> request dispatcher to forward to the new path.
> i.e:
> posting to /test/foo/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa ends up creating a
> node at /test/foo/ab/ba/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa. Accessing
> '/test/foo/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa.xml' filters it to
> '/test/foo/ab/ba/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa.xml' and it works
> correctly.
> This sort of approach seems to solve all the performance problems in
> jackrabbit and works in the general case, like when there isn't an obvious
> way to naturally get a deep hierarchy.
> Something breaks, though, when I try to bucket images. The node is posted
> correctly, but when I try to get it via the filter in the url, I get a 404.
> If I put an image with the same name under the unbucketed path using
> something like DAV, requesting an unbucketed resource that gets resolved by
> my filter will return the image I uploaded manually.
> i.e:
> posting to /test/foo/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa/img.jpg ends up
> creating a node at
> /test/foo/ab/ba/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa/img.jpg.
> Accessing '/test/foo/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa/img.jpg' leads to a
> 404.
> Accessing '/test/foo/ab/ba/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa/img.jpg'
> returns the correct resource.
> Putting a new image also called img.jpg under
> /test/foo/abbaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa with a dav, then hitting the
> first path in the browser will return the new image, which isn't correct.
> It seems to me that the prep work done by sling before executing the filters
> leads to a dirty state that disallows me from forwarding to a new path in my
> filter. Is there a way to clean up the request's state?
