Error description

  • URL Mapping Fallback does not work correctly on version 6.0 of
    Portal with "state.decoding.fallback" set to false and  PK31849
    installed.
    The issue is caused by PK31849 disabling the flag
    "state.decoding.fallback"
    introduced by PK23639.
    
    Example:
    If you have a url mapping /wps/myportal/test
    and if you issue the following url /wps/myportal/test/test1
    it should not fallback to /wps/myportal/test assuming that
    test1
    does not exist and "state.decoding.fallback" is set to false.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • URL Mapping Fallback does not work correctly on version 6.0
    of Portal with "state.decoding.fallback" set to false and
    PK31849 installed.
    The issue is caused by PK31849 disabling the flag
    "state.decoding.fallback" introduced by PK23639.
    
    Example:
    If you have a url mapping /wps/myportal/test and if you issue
    the following url /wps/myportal/test/test1 it should not
    fallback to /wps/myportal/test assuming that test1 does not
    exist and "state.decoding.fallback" is set to false.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In special usecases the flag "state.decoding.fallback" got
    ignored during fallback behaviour.
    The fix re-enables the fallback configuration on top of
    PK31849.
