AEM 6.4 Connect java file with HTML File

I've been reading quiet a few but still am not able to get it done.

Current Java code:

html code

Folder Structure:

I'm trying to read metadata (specifically) size of image in java and load it back to html.

     - I get my image via ${properties.fileReference}

     - I prefer Local, but By bundle is alright as long as explained.

------------------------------ WORKFLOW: ---------------------------------

     - Add image via

     - get file via ${properties.fileReference}

     - process in Java (local) (both sounds good too)

     - return width and height to .html. (ex. <div> ${javaClass.width} - ${javaClass.height} </div>

See this document - we cover Granite Resource types and cover concepts like HTL/Sling Models:

Building Experience Manager Components using Granite/Coral Resource Types

I recommend that you go through the whole document too as it explains a lot of AEM Component concepts.

Also - I recommend placing your Java into a bundle - not a file in CRXDE lite.

Ok thanks!

Here another, how do you restrict the path item?

So that user is restricted to a certain folder only.

Thanks!

Not sure but try these -

Option#1:   aem-touch-ui-validation/pathbrowser.html at master · nateyolles/aem-touch-ui-validation · GitHub

&lt;pathbrowserD
  jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
  sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser"
  fieldLabel="Required and allow non existing path"
  fieldDescription="Try entering an external URL"
  rootPath="/content/aem-touch-ui-validation"
  required="{Boolean}true"
  allowNonRootPath="{Boolean}true"
  allowNonExistingPath="{Boolean}true"
  name="./pathbrowserD"/&gt;

If this doesn't suffice, then write custom code to forcefully delete the chosen path that doesn't belong to the restricted folder and display message to let user know pick the specific path only:

Option#2:

AEM Touch UI Dialog Validation New Best Practice: Use Foundation-Validation
