[opencms-dev] OpenCms9: Categories and Detail-Names get mixed up

[Christoph Fröhlich]

Hi Patric,

thanks for the hint. I didn't know about the new basename, but we had set the old one in opencms-workplace.xml and this overwrites the setting in CmsCategoryService.
At least as far as I understand the code. Nevertheless I changed the basename in workplace and in opencms-workplace.xml to "/.categories" but unfortunately with no effect.

To narrow my problem down 
1) We have an arbitrary xml content. Lets say "/.content/articles/foo" with the detail name "foo"
2) We have a category with a similar name. Lets say "/_categories/maincategory/foo"
3) When we call 
	OpenCms.getLinkManager().getRootPath(cms, "/_categories/maincategory/foo");
it returns
	"/sites/default/.content/articles/foo"
and not 
	"/sites/default/_categories/maincategory/foo"

If this is meaningful behavior, it is beyond my understanding :)
If someone else did encounter this and knows about a workaround,  I would be really grateful for some advice


Thanks and regards 
Christoph
