The URIs can be either absolute or relative within the web application in which case the context path is added automatically. For example:

...

• Relative
  
  fromUri: /winter2016
toUri: forward:/marketing/campaigns/winter2016

• Absolute
  
  fromUri: /winter2016
toUri: forward:https://www.example.com/marketing/campaigns/winter2016.html

The mappings registry

The mappings registry

Before Magnolia 5.5.6, virtual URI mapping was part of the core. With the release of 5.5.6 the mapping is delegated to a separate module ( virtual-uri ) through the  info.magnolia.virtualuri.VirtualUriFilter  class. Moreover, the mappings themselves are stored in their own registry ( VirtualUriRegistry ), which allows to reference each mapping also in YAML definition files. All virtual URI mappings can be located via the Definitions app no matter whether they come from JCR or a YAML file:

...

• info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.*
  

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.DefaultVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

     maps a virtual URI to a content path. This is the simplest and most common type.
    ( Magnolia 5.4.6+) If the URI starts with a dot ( If the URI starts with a dot ( . ), it is not taken as a wildcard anymore but the dot in fact is interpreted as dot. If you need a wildcard, use ? instead.

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.RegexpVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

     allows you to specify a regular expression pattern that matches a sequence of characters. A regexp pattern can match a variety of URIs, which saves time and effort as you would otherwise have to create default mappings for each case. toUri can contain back references to the regexp matches.

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.RotatingVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

     is an extension of RegexpVirtualUriMapping that allows rotation between different destination URIs. In order to rotate, toUri must contain an asterisk character * that will be replaced by a random integer between start (default is 1) and end minus one (default is 3). An additional property padding specifies the desired width of the string. Zeroes are added to the left of the integer to make all strings equally wide. Default width is 2.

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.HostBasedVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

     forwards the request to a different URI depending on the requested host name.

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.virtualuri.mapping.HostBasedRegexpVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

     combines the host-based and regex mappings, i.e. forwards the request to a different URI depending on the requested host name and allows you to specify a regular expression pattern that matches a sequence of characters.
• info.magnolia.module.googlesitemap.config.*
  

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.module.googlesitemap.config.SiteMapVirtualUriMapping renderType asynchronous

    compares source URI to names of sitemaps available in the googleSitemaps workspace and prepends the prefix.
• info.magnolia.multisite.* 
  

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.multisite.MultiSiteRootVirtualURIMapping renderType asynchronous

     is a special class which specifies the root of a site if site matching returns null . 

  • Javadoc resource link
    className info.magnolia.multisite.MultiSiteRegexpVirtualURIMapping renderType asynchronous

     adds a site condition to the mapURI check.  A mapping will only match the request if both the specified regular expression and the specified site match.

  You You can also write your own implementation.

The patterns for regular expressions in the regex-based classes are defined in java.util.regex.Pattern .

Regular expression

Take requested page name and pass it as a productId request parameter to a product detail page.

The pattern [0-9a-9AzA-Z-] in fromUri means "any single character in the range of 0-9 or a-z or A-Z or the character - literally". The plus character makes this a greedy pattern that matches one or more of the preceding token, and will match as many characters as possible before satisfying the next token. By enclosing the pattern in parentheses we create a capturing group ([0-9a-9AzA-Z-]+]) which can be referenced in the toUri using $1.
