how to read tags located outside /etc/tags?

Can you create osgi:Config for com.day.cq.tagging.impl.JcrTagManagerFactoryImpl and set property base.path as you custom tag path and see if that works. You can find these property under /system/console Component tab and search for JcrTagManagerFactoryImpl. But I am not sure if there is another code that assume tags are present under /etc/tags.

Thank you for your reply.

I think it is necessary to explain more in detail.

We have tags under /etc/tags, but for some reasons, we need to replicate those tags to under /content/data/metadata where we modify some or deactivate.

Some applications need to use those metadata under /content/data/metadata and in custom page dialog, we have one of fields called metadata which is selected only from metadata. In order to do it, we set /content/data/metadata as tagsBasePath in custom page dialog and also set namespaces. It works in AEM5.2.1 and AEM5.3.

Now we are migrating to AEM5.6.1 and found that it does not work anymore.

Is there a way to get it work in AEM5.6.1 with no structure change?

We tried to overlay cq/tagging/widgets with old version but it does not work.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK It is not supported from 5.5 onwards & has to be in single location.  That is the reason I am asking to file a daycare ticket because complexity comes to manage sycing two taxnomy in different structures.

Thank you. I will open a ticket for it.
