Overlay is not working

  • August 23, 2024

I've overlaid the file 

/apps/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/base/init/assetBase.jsp

and made some changes, but it's not picking up the overlayed file. Instead, it continues to reference the original file at

/libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/base/init/assetBase.jsp

I'm using Service Pack 16. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    The problem is that the file

    libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/base/init/assetBase.jsp

    is hardcoded and included in the following files:

    • libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/card/asset/asset.jsp
    • libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/column/asset/asset.jsp
    • libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/row/asset/asset.jsp

    Therefore, you must also overlay these files to ensure that your custom functionality is applied.

    So, your overlay should look like this:

    Follow the below pattern with all the files i shared

    Now, you can check that the overlay is working:

     


    Hope this helps

      @estebanbustamante Thanks for the support. I tried the same thing, but it's not working.

        @jerinraj5555 As my screenshot shows, the overlay is working. When you said it is not working for you, do you mean that you cannot get a simple logger statement like I did to confirm that the overlay is functioning? Or are you referring to a problem with your customization of the overlay?

          Hi @jerinraj5555 
          Please confirm these things  :

          the overlay path exactly mirrors the path in /libs. The file structure in /apps must exactly match the one in /libs to successfully override the JSP file.

          • Original file: /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/base/init/assetBase.jsp

          Overlayed file: /apps/dam/gui/coral/components/admin/contentrenderer/base/init/assetBase.jsp

           

          Ensure that the permissions for the /apps folder are set correctly. Sometimes AEM security restrictions prevent certain files in /apps from being used. You can check and adjust permissions in the CRX repository to ensure that your overlay is access. 


          If you're using a dispatcher, it might be caching the JSP from /libs. Clear the dispatcher cache to ensure it's picking up the latest version from /apps.

          Verify if the overlay is dependent on a sling

          or other inherited components. If the original file in /libs is included via a resource type, it might bypass your overlay.

           

          • Check the sling:resourceSuperType property on the component you're trying to overlay.
          • Ensure there’s no fallback logic implemented in the component to use the original file

          Check the error and debug logs (/crx-quickstart/logs/error.log and /crx-quickstart/logs/request.log) for any warnings or errors related to the JSP rendering. It might provide clues if AEM is having issues with your overlay.

          Let me know if its worked or not ! 

          Thanks
