Hierarchical long friendly url

Hello!

We need to use friendly urls like \xxx\yyy\zzz

Urls are localized (stores in DB with %-symbols) and may be long enough.

To make friendlyurl hierarchical I use ModelListener-hook with onAfterUpdate() action, and it normally works.

But default friendlyurl length is only 255 characters.

With changed length at db-column all works, but fails at

FriendlyURLEntryLocalServiceImpl.updateFriendlyURLEntry()

at validate() method

Guess1

How to correct modify length of friendlyurl column (at 'layout' and 'layoutfriendlyurl' tables)?

May be with EXT or model-hints?

Guess2

Not to modify DB, but create a new table with my own long friendly urls?

I will try to create this with service-builder.
1. Save urls works fine
2. To find layout with url I override 

LayoutLocalServiceWrapper.getFriendlyURLLayout()

used in

PortalImpl.getPortletFriendlyURLMapperLayoutQueryStringComposite()

Page successfully found, but url in address panel change to 'system' at

FriendlyUrlServlet with PortalImpl.getLocalizedFriendlyURL()

And I dont want to override whole PortalImpl.

May be it is real to override FriendlyUrlServlet?

Or something else to get control about Liferay friendlyurl?

Original Post:

Finally there are:

1) service-builder component to store long friendly urls (FriendlyUrlLong)

2) ModelListener-hook to create long friendly urls (buiseness logic)

3) Override some LayoutLocalService methods:

  • updateLayout (replace urls with cropped one)
  • deleteLayout (syncronious remove our urls)
  • getFriendlyURLLayout
    @Override
    public Layout getFriendlyURLLayout(long groupId, boolean privateLayout, String friendlyURL) throws PortalException {
        Layout layout = null;

        // Try find by our long friendly url.
        String normalizedUrl = FriendlyURLNormalizerUtil.normalizeWithEncoding(friendlyURL);
        FriendlyUrlLong friendlyUrlLong = FriendlyUrlLongLocalServiceUtil.fetchByFriendlyUrl(normalizedUrl);
        if (friendlyUrlLong != null) {
            long plid = friendlyUrlLong.getPlid();
            layout = LayoutLocalServiceUtil.fetchLayout(plid);
        }

        // Try find by liferay.
        if (layout == null) {
            layout = LayoutLocalServiceUtil.getLayoutByFriendlyURL(groupId, privateLayout, friendlyURL);
        }

        return layout;
    }

4) Override some LayoutFriendlyURLLocalService methods:

  • updateLayoutFriendlyURLs (replace urls with cropped one)
  • getLayoutFriendlyURL
    @Override
    public LayoutFriendlyURL getLayoutFriendlyURL(long plid, String languageId) throws PortalException {
        LayoutFriendlyURL layoutFriendlyURL = getLayoutFriendlyURLInternal(plid);
        if (layoutFriendlyURL != null) {
            return layoutFriendlyURL;
        }
        return super.getLayoutFriendlyURL(plid, languageId);
    }

    @Override
    public LayoutFriendlyURL getLayoutFriendlyURL(long plid, String languageId, boolean useDefault) throws PortalException {
        LayoutFriendlyURL layoutFriendlyURL = getLayoutFriendlyURLInternal(plid);
        if (layoutFriendlyURL != null) {
            return layoutFriendlyURL;
        }
        return super.getLayoutFriendlyURL(plid, languageId, useDefault);
    }

    private LayoutFriendlyURL getLayoutFriendlyURLInternal(long plid) {
        // Try to find our long friendly url.
        FriendlyUrlLong friendlyUrlLong = FriendlyUrlLongLocalServiceUtil.fetchFriendlyUrlLong(plid);
        if (friendlyUrlLong != null) {
            String longFriendlyUrl = friendlyUrlLong.getFriendlyUrl();
            // Compose fake LayoutFriendlyURL.
            LayoutFriendlyURL fakeLayoutFriendlyURL = LayoutFriendlyURLLocalServiceUtil.createLayoutFriendlyURL(0);
            fakeLayoutFriendlyURL.setFriendlyURL(longFriendlyUrl);
            return fakeLayoutFriendlyURL;
        }
        return null;
    }
