Actual Post:

hi Everyone,

My requirement is to do some business logic ((this can be only done in client side otherwise i could have written bundles)) in the javascript/jquery and take the output from that script and set that as page response in JSON format. Setting the AEM page response as JSON is the challenge.

I have tried using scriptlets like <%@ page contentType="application/json" %> and <%@ page language="java" contentType="application/json; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>. But along with JSON it prints HTML also.

We want AEM page to return only JSON not any HTML. Any suggestions please ??

Hi,

assuming your page component (not the template but the page component) is located at /apps/myapp/components/mypage

then write a jsp /apps/myapp/components/mypage.json.jsp, which renders the page as JSON.

Then you can request your page located at /content/myapp/mypage (with resourcetype myapp/components/mypage) with "http://host/content/myapp/mypage.json to get your custom output. Another, potentially more flexible approach might be to write a servlet, bind it to the resourcetype myapp/components/mypage and a selector (for example "custom") and the extension "json" and then request the page via "http//host/content/myapp/mypage.custom.json".
