Share Link for an Asset in AEM 6.1

Hi Venkat,

I think there is no Share link functionality for AEM 6.1. It is there for AEM 6.2. See this below URL

Hi, Venkat

I can give some overview on this how to implement this. Basically you can write a service with a method which will take sling request and asset path.... inside that you can implement something like this 

ResourceResolver resResolver = slingRequest.getResourceResolver(); Externalizer externalizer = resResolver.adaptTo(Externalizer.class); String shareURL = slingRequest.getResourceResolver().map(assetPath); myExternalizedUrl = externalizer.externalLink(resourceResolver, "domain name from Day CQ Link Externalizer", URLDecoder.decode(shareURL));

Then from your JSP you can invoke this method by passing the asset path. It works. 

Based on your requirement you can include this in metadata of asset or you can include as a custom button. 

Hope this helps! 

Thanks,

Hi Venkat

Do you want to share the ssset though publish URL? Or you want to share it through author? 

The approach I explained you work with publish URL without any authentication. Author side you can create this URL and share it with the people you want to. You need to have a check that this URL will be created only if asset is published. 

Thanks,
