Adobe Experience Manager Sites

so I have a javax.servlet.filter class that does a lot of things. one of the first things it does is change the value of a cookie (example: cookieX was originally set to "ABC" and I changed it to "ABC,DEF"). Before the browser gets a response (the filter has completed already but a Sling model is running this time), another piece of code retrieves the value of cookieX and checks if "DEF" is in the cookie. When the cookie is retrieve via the request object, I still see the original value (which is "ABC") and not the new one.From what I can see, this is inherent to the nature of cookies? (that is the values will not change until the browser gets a response?)Is there a workaround/fix?Thank you.

Hey Adobe community, With AEM 6.5 heading towards End of Life (core support ends Feb 2027, extended support Feb 2028), a lot of us are asking: What’s next? Should we stick with Long-Term Support (LTS) or take the leap to AEM Cloud? Let’s dig into the real questions: Why Upgrade?Is it just about staying supported, or are there real benefits to moving forward? LTS vs. Cloud: Pros and ConsWhat’s working for you with LTS? What’s tempting about Cloud? Any pain points or unexpected wins? Who Should Go Where?Are there certain teams, industries, or use cases that make more sense for LTS or Cloud? How do you decide? End-State Business ValueWhat does success look like after the upgrade or migration? How do you measure the impact on your business or clients? Share your experiences, opinions, and advice—whether you’re deep in migration planning or just starting to think about it. Let’s help each other figure out the smartest path forward!

Hello Team, Anyone has implemented OKTA integration with AEM running on AMS? I am fine with this configuration steps on Author: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/foundation/authentication/okta-saml-integrationBut, wanted to know about publish env. Sample scenario:End user has created account in Okta. Then, the user logs in to my AEM live site(consider AMS has multiple publish env.) How to maintain the server session in sync with all publish env?  Note: This user is not an author. Will not get access to author env. cc @arunpatidar  @aanchal-sikka  @veenavikraman  @sureshdhulipudi  @lukasz-m Thanks in advance.

I built a form having rows, where there is item numbers for each row such as 1 / 2 / 3 ... I use following to add a new instance: form1.Button.Button1::click - (FormCalc, client)Table1._Row1.addInstance(); I use following to delete the last instance: form1.Button.Button2::click - (FormCalc, client)var nCount = Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count ;//remove instanceTable1.Row1.instanceManager.removeInstance(nCount-1); Below script is to show row numbers at the first column.  form1.Table1.Row1.ItemNo::enter - (FormCalc, client)var rowCount = this.parent.instanceManager.count;form1.Table1.Row1.ItemNo::calculate - (FormCalc, client)this.rawValue = this.parent.index + 1; these above works great; however lately I needed to delete a random instance which is not the last row using: form1.Table1.Row1.#subform[0].del_button::click - (JavaScript, client)_Row1.removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index); Now there is such a bug when I delete another inst

Migration to the New Content Fragment Editor in AEMaaCS  by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction Content fragments (CF) in AEM allow authors to design, create, and publish page-independent content without visual design and/or layout. Therefore, authors can use them to prepare content that can be reused in multiple locations and channels, which is ideal for headless delivery or reuse across pages. The CF reference AEM core component enables simple referencing and using the CF data on a page, while GraphQL and/or REST APIs enable headless content delivery. The new CF editor was recently introduced by Adobe to enhance the authoring experience for structured content. It can be accessed from the new CF console and offers a few interesting new features: Tree navigation feature with a hierarchical view of the CFs structure to allow authors to easily navigate and edit CFs efficiently Improved authoring interface with features such as auto-save and breadcrumbs for navigating ba

Hello,As we know, there are restrictions on loading the style system in targeting mode. I’m trying an alternate approach: checking if the mode is edit or targeting, and then loading the style system tab in the dialog only for targeting mode (loading from the dialog with hardcoded values, not from editable template policies).For my use case, I don’t need the “paintbrush” icon indicating the style system in targeting mode, as long as the style system is available when opening the dialog. I plan to use the same styleIds, hardcoded in the dialog dropdown for selection. I’m just checking if anyone has tried this approach and found it successful. Please let me know.

Hello Community,I need your input regarding an issue we’re facing. We have an integration in place for AEM Target. We are successfully pulling audiences from Target and using them in AEM to personalize content based on browser type. In the author environment, we’re able to view the respective personalized content as expected.However, when testing in the publish environment (server), we notice that while the content is being replaced, the UI is often blank. Occasionally, we see the default content instead. Upon investigation, it appears that `.mboxDefault` is hiding the content, even though the content is being replaced for the intended audience:.mboxDefault {visibility: hidden;}I want to ensure this will not cause issues in higher environments. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, and what steps did you take to resolve it? Please advise.Additionally, we observed another issue related to `[execute.mboxes[0].profileParameters]`:**Parameter value for `_cq_.resolvedSegments` exceeds the

Hi Everyone,We are facing an issue in our AEM setup related to vanity paths and Hindi pages.Problem StatementWhen we author a page content path in Hindi pages, a %20 (encoded space) is getting appended at the end of the vanity path.This behavior is observed only for Hindi pages.For English pages, sling:vanityPath property, and we directly use the same vanity path without issues.ObservationsThe issue happens only after translation (we usually author English pages and then translate them to Hindi using Process9).In Author mode, when the content path is authored, it looks fine. But once published, the vanity path automatically adds %20 at the end.Example: /hindi/page → becomes /hindi/page%20.For English pages, vanity paths remain clean and this issue does not occur.There is no visible trailing space in the sling:vanityPath Property.What We TriedChecked page properties and vanity path values — in English they are clean.Verified that no explicit sling:vanityPat

Hello, I know cloud manager pipeline includes a warm up pages service.I'm looking for additional information about how does it work if there a way to specify the list of pages to warm up or apply a custom script somewhere.More, how can we implement a way to cache a page on all dispatcher Pods? 

Hello, Goal: To display content from a content fragment onto a page or experience fragment. This must include data from fragment reference fields ie: nested content fragments and content reference fields, specifically images. Currently, OOTB only displays either with their respective paths.  My Approach:Create a copy of the content fragment componentCreate a Sling Model that exposes the input values from the dialog boxFor text fields, I would like to grab them, maybe add some basic logic and expose it to the component's HTLFor nested content fragments, I would like to find the content fragment, grab it's data and expose it to the component's HTLFor images, I would like to do the same and make it available for HTL to grab in a way that it can then display it on the page.Create custom HTL for the component that displays all the content based on whether or not they are selected in the dialog boxStyle said component with CSS My issue is with the Sling Model and HTL, I a

Hi,I’m trying to optimize oak indexes in a Clou. We have a few custom queries that are running very slow, and after checking explain plans, it looks like they’re falling back to traversal. I know AEMaaCS doesn’t allow direct CRXDE changes, so indexes need to be managed via code deployments. What’s the best way to properly define and deploy a custom oak:index in Cloud Service, and how can I safely test changes before pushing them through Cloud Manager? Also, are there tools or recommended steps to validate whether the new index is actually being used by queries? Thanks!

Hi Everyone,I have a requirement to move our customized Adobe components into a proxy folder and update all content that currently references these components so they point to the new proxy versions.Example:Current component: buttonNew proxy component: buttonglThis means I need to update all pages to use the proxy component by modifying the sling:resourceType for every instance of the old button.Adobe Support recommended importing the content into code, applying the updates there, and then deploying through Cloud Manager (since we’re on AEM Cloud).I tried this approach in a demo project, but so far I don’t see my changes reflected in the AEM instance — currently testing on localhost. Steps I followed:Created a demo project, authored a new content page, and synced back to source code for making changes  2: Filter.xml  3: build using command: mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage4: Verify the changes are reflected in crxdeContent.xml<?xml version="1.0"

I'm working with AEM 6.5 and looking to optimize performance by configuring the minRecordLength property under org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.blob.datastore.FileDataStore.The documentation recommends setting this to 100 to ensure binaries (like DITA files) are saved in the Data Store instead of the Segment Store for better performance.However, I have a few questions:How can I verify where the binaries are currently being stored — Segment Store or Data Store — especially for different file types and sizes?If I don’t see the minRecordLength in the Felix Console (/system/console/configMgr), how do I confirm what value is being used by default?After setting minRecordLength=100, is there a reliable way (via logs or tools) to confirm that new uploads are being saved in Data Store?What metrics or logs should I track to evaluate performance improvements (e.g., segment size growth, compaction, GC)?I’ve uploaded files like small.txt and used scripts: def assetPath = "/content/dam/test-up
