Issue

  • After updating the portal from DXP 7.3 U15 to DXP 7.3 U27, we cannot access friendly URLs containing special characters in upper case.
  • We see the following error:
    The requested resource could not be found

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.3 U27

Resolution

Additional Information

  • Although you can access the friendly URL with special characters after installing the hotfix, if the content is edited, the URL is going to change to one without special characters.
  • It's not good practice to use special characters in URL, that's why this feature is not present in any updates beyond 7.3 U27.
