[opencms-dev] Bug with linkexcludes? (running OpenCms 9.0.1)

[Tobias Karrer]

Hi all,

after OpenCms Day's "Hidden features of OpenCms" presentation, we were 
trying to use linkexcludes for content 'outside of vfs'.

But it seems to be buggy:

Let's suppose we configured "/bigmedia" in /system/shared/linkexcludes 
and switched to CmsAdvancedLinkSubstitutionHandler.
While adding a reference "/bigmedia/some-page.html", it is marked as 
"/!\ Resource not found", but saving the resource is possible.
Output in page is wrapped with <cms:link>...</cms:link>, so it will be 
completed by vfs prefix, causing a dead link.

I think CmsDefaultLinkSubstitutionHandler#getLink() (line 344ff) is 
missing the check for paths configured in linkexcludes.

Someone else got this problem?

Regards,
Tobias
