Endeca SEO : Display special characters in Assembler SEO URL
In Endeca SEO Implementation, endeca-seo-config-url.xml is responsible to generate SEO URL.
Behaviour:-
When using the endeca-seo-config-url.xml file to implement SEO in Assembler, the NavStateFormatter doesn't handle special characters correctly and replaces with "-" dashes.
Example :- Category Name : Bed + Bath, as creating SEO URL, "+" gets replaced with "-" so generated URL would be like "/Bed---bath/_/N-n1xqt8" but it should be "/Bed-and-bath/_/N-n1xqt8"
Solution :-
The RegexStringFormatter defined in endeca-seo-config-url.xml is not configured to handle special character by default so it replaced special character with a "-" character.
Add the RegexStringFormatter under stringFormatters as per below :-
This would generate Example as below

| <bean class="com.endeca.soleng.urlformatter.seo.RegexStringFormatter"> <property name="pattern"> <value><![CDATA[[+]]]></value> </property> <property name="replacement"> <value>and</value> </property> <property name="replaceAll"> <value>true</value> </property> </bean> |
This would generate Example as below
- navigationState: "/Bed-and-bath/_/N-n1xqt8",
