Bob Paulin commented on SLING-3835:
-----------------------------------
Since it's going to be interpreted as a string first you might have to double
or triple escape.
Also have you tried using the \Q and \E to escape the pattern?
Here's a small sample:
{code}
public static void main(String[] args) {
String test ="/1213/213$/234";
Pattern test1 = Pattern.compile(test);
Matcher matcher1 = test1.matcher(test);
System.out.println("match? " + matcher1.matches());
//match? false
Pattern test2 = Pattern.compile("\\Q" +test + "\\E");
Matcher matcher2 = test2.matcher(test);
System.out.println("match? " + matcher2.matches());
//match? true
Pattern test3 = Pattern.compile(test.replaceAll("\\$",
"\\\\\\$"));
Matcher matcher3 = test3.matcher(test);
System.out.println("match? " + matcher3.matches());
//match? true
}
{code}
> Vanity URL's with $ symbol do not get resolved
> ----------------------------------------------

> Key: SLING-3835
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3835
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JCR
> Reporter: Neha Sinha
>
> Use case (CQ 5.6.1):
> If I set a vanity URL containing $ like :
> /fathers-day-gifts/fathers-day-gifts-under-$200, the path does not gets
> resolved and gives a 404 error. However, the value in the repository is
> stored as it is.
> Now ,$, the dollar denotes the end of line anchor.
> Example: "b$" matches a "b" at the end of a line.
> Example: "^b$" matches the empty line.
> But, this does not work even on changing $ to URL encoded value or when used
> with double slash to escape.
> On removing the $ sign, things look and work as expected.
