Description

While migrating our app from 1.4 to 1.5 we have discovered a problem with how BookmarkablePageLinks are rendered.

The attached quickstart demonstrates the problem:

Two pages: HomePage and OtherPage mounted at: /content/home and /content/other respectively.

These are mounted using the encoder UrlPathPageParametersEncoder for backwards compatibility with existing 1.4 style URLs.

A filter has been established in web.xml to forward requests to root (eg., localhost) to localhost/content/home
[Note: I have left out the port :8080 part from all URL references so please insert when testing]

Point browser to http://localhost and the page is forwarded to http://localhost/content/home and displays correctly (browser URL still shows http://localhost as desired) but the links do not work because they remove the 'content' segment of the URL:

eg., Home link -> http://localhost/home - fails - should have been http://localhost/content/home

If you type in the full URL: http://localhost/content/home

then the home page displays and the links work correctly.

A similar page set up works fine in 1.4.
