AEM sitemap - request two sitemaps in the same Node

Hi @neoz_zilon,

You can register multiple custom sitemap generators for the same page node (like a language root) in AEM using Sling Sitemap. Each one can be tied to a different selector, like sitemap.xml and sitemap-assets.xml. Here's how I usually approach it:

1. Create separate generators
   Build two classes extending ResourceTreeSitemapGenerator:

   • One for pages (eg. MyCustomSitemap1.java)

   • One for assets (eg. MyCustomSitemap2.java)

2. Register with unique names (selectors)
   Give each generator a unique name using the SitemapGenerator.NAME property. This controls the selector used in the URL.

   Eg.

   @Component( service = SitemapGenerator.class, property = { SitemapGenerator.NAME + "=pages" // becomes sitemap.xml } ) public class MyCustomSitemap1 extends ResourceTreeSitemapGenerator { // logic for pages } @Component( service = SitemapGenerator.class, property = { SitemapGenerator.NAME + "=assets" // becomes sitemap-assets.xml } ) public class MyCustomSitemap2 extends ResourceTreeSitemapGenerator { // logic for assets }

3. Configure the Sitemap Servlet
   Make sure the sitemap servlet is set up to handle both selectors:

   { "sling.servlet.selectors": ["sitemap", "sitemap-assets"], "sling.servlet.extensions": "xml", "sling.servlet.resourceTypes": ["sling:Folder", "cq:Page"] }

   (Or use a factory config for org.apache.sling.sitemap.SitemapServlet.)

4. Access the URLs
   Once everything is registered, you should be able to access:

   • /en.sitemap.xml --> page sitemap

   • /en.sitemap-assets.xml --> asset sitemap

   These selectors are customizable based on what you register.

hi @santoshsai 

Thanks for your reply! this is what I needed.

Just have one extra question, I'm unable to resolve the CONSTANT: SitemapGenerator.NAME and reviewed the source code as well for this one, and don't see the constant. Do you know if it is another class, or the value of this constant, to add it.

Really appreciate it. 

Hi @neoz_zilon ,

To create two separate sitemaps (e.g., one for pages and one for assets) under the same AEM node (like /en) using Apache Sling Sitemap in AEM, follow this implementation approach:

Step-by-Step Working Solution

1. Create Two Sitemap Generator Components

MyCustomPageSitemap.java

MyCustomAssetSitemap.java

Note: There's no constant like SitemapGenerator.NAME in the current Sling Sitemap API — use string literal: "sling.sitemap.name=your-selector"

2. Sitemap Servlet Configuration (IMPORTANT)

If you need to ensure the sitemap servlet can respond to both selectors:

org.apache.sling.sitemap.SitemapServlet.cfg.json (OSGi config file)

You can also create this config via the Web Console or in Code (OSGi Factory Config).

3. Deploy & Access

Assuming the language root is /content/site/en, these URLs will now work:

Verify below:

 - Both components use @Component(service = SitemapGenerator.class)
 - You’ve used unique selectors: sitemap-pages, sitemap-assets
- Your servlet is configured to recognize those selectors
- You’re requesting sitemaps from nodes of type cq:Page or sling:Folder
- The sitemap service is enabled for the site root in /conf (if using configuration-based setup)

Amit

None of the proposed solutions worked, not sure if anybody has tested this one, and it might be a reason why there are no examples about this one ... If anyone has any clues'll appreciate it, if I find the way to fix it, I'll share it.
