Job links are broken for categorized jobs residing in a folder (post 1.8)

I am categorizing jobs (using a regex) residing in a folder. So the categories are created properly but the job links are broken. I am able to access the jobs if directly navigating to the folder.
I see that below lines of code have been removed in 1.9:
**src/main/resources/lib/categorizedview/catProjectView.jelly**

Could this possibly be the issue? since the above technique doesn't break for plugin version 1.8. Let me know if you need more details
