Content not able to access from dispatchers if we have "." in the folder name

Hi Team,

We have migrated content from legacy to  AEM DAM which is having the ".'" format in the folder names like "preview.1.41.1". 

what are the options to access the content? Please advice.

Note: It's not possible to update the names, those are linked with different applications.

Thanks

Uma

We are able to fix it by allowing the folder in dispatcher level with selector.

How did you manage to create a folder name with a dot? If you use TouchUI and create a folder with a title "preview.1.14.1" then the fodler name can be either "preview-1-14-1" or "preview1141". The UI would not even allow you to create a folder with a dot in the name.

The reason for that is that a dot suggests that there is a selector and it will try to find a script to render a resource:

Hi,

What happens if you bypass the dispatcher and access AEM directly? Same error?

Thank

Can you give an example how this does not work? Can you share the requests you make to AEM (which are working well) and through the dispatcher (which seem to be problematic)? What are the relevant log entries for them? What plattform are you running the dispatcher on? Windows/Unix? IIS / Apache httpd? What version of the dispatcher are you using? How does your dispatcher.any look like?

If you can provide us information regarding this, we might be able to help you. I am not aware of any limitation in the dispatcher which prevents you from accessing folders with a "." in its name.

Jörg
