Conveyor: How to override actions that are different on different Confluence versions?

[Manuel Kummerländer]

Hi,

we use Conveyor to override some user actions and it works just fine like this:

<conveyor-config>
	<package-override name="users" namespace="/users">
		<action-override name="editmyprofilepicture" 
			class="our.package.EditMyProfilePictureAction">
			<result name="success" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture.vm.html</result> 
			<result name="error" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture-not-allowed.vm.html</result> 
		</action-override>
...

Now, with Confluence 5.7 the path changed from "/users" to "/users/profile" and the configuration breaks, so Conveyor doesn't work. Is there a way to configure both paths in order to be downward compatible? As I see it is not just possible to define a second package-override since Conveyor doesn't work at all if there are missing actions ... 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kind regards
Manuel

Since our config.xml is not a solid solution anymore we added a servlet filter to modify the URLs. I am not really satisfied with that but it works for now ...

We tried a bit around and finally this works:

<conveyor-config>
    <package-override name="users" namespace="/users">
		<action-override name="editmyprofilepicture"
            class="our.package.EditMyProfilePictureAction">
            <result name="success" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture.vm.html</result>
            <result name="error" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture-not-allowed.vm.html</result>
        </action-override>
		<action name="editmyprofilepicture"
            class="our.package.EditMyProfilePictureAction">
            <result name="success" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture.vm.html</result>
            <result name="error" type="velocity">/vm/user/editmyprofilepicture-not-allowed.vm.html</result>
        </action>
...

Now we can use both paths: /users/editmyprofilepicture.action and /users/profile/editmyprofilepicture.action. I don't really understand why, but ... well.

Try duplicating your package-override and adding this too:

<package-override name="user-profiles" namespace="/users/profiles">
  ...

Thank you, @David Simpson • AppFusions • v3, but unfortunately this doesn't work. We have to have the action "editmyprofilepicture" in both package-overrides (for c5.6 and c5.7) and since one of this actions can always not be found (depending on the version we compile for) conveyour just stops working. I will post a solution that works for us as answer.
