I'm working on a PIM integration project. On upload of an asset we can invoke code via the update DAM asset workflow to write asset details back to our PIM and also PIM details to AEM.Now what I am looking to do is to invoke code when creating a review task on a folder of assets. The purpose of this is to integrate assets that already exist in AEM with our PIM. The create review task seems to be allocated as a task within a project. My question is, how can I invoke code through the create asset review task, so that when a folder of assets is reviewed and approved, the assets will contain our PIM integration details. Is this the best way to update a batch of assets or is there a better way?I am aware of the product photo shoot workflows but they upload assets and associate them with products rather than update existing assets.Thanks.

I am trying to fetch the user password using the user id to enable auto-login to CQ author environment.Below is what i have been trying:Session jcrSession = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class); UserManager userManager = AccessControlUtil.getUserManager(jcrSession); Authorizable authorizable = userManager.getAuthorizable(USER_ID); User user = null; if (authorizable instanceof User) { user = (User)authorizable; } SimpleCredentials credential = (SimpleCredentials)user.getCredentials(); char[] password = credential.getPassword(); out.println("Password: " + password);I get a an exception at line 8.java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.authentication.CryptedSimpleCredentials cannot be cast to javax.jcr.SimpleCredentialsI know the password for a user is hashed in CQ but was trying this as suggested on an earlier post @ http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums/en/experience-manager-forum/adobe-experience-manager.topic.html/forum__69oi-hi_we_have_forgo.ht

Hi, We recently have faced few issues on a production author instance (CQ5.5) where : 1. Due to some strange reasons the "admin" user doesn't have the privileges to access the CRX repository. Though, the user is able to access the OSGI console. Paths like /, /crxde,/useradmin or in other words all consoles are not accessible except felix. We are getting a 403 response. URLs I can access : /system/console/crx/explorer/index.jsp (I can create groups /user but not able to assign the privileges.) 2. Repository size is huge. It has grown upto 850 GBs.  Does anyone have pointers as to how can I get privileges to access the CRX repository? 

Hi All,We recently upgraded our server from AEM 5.6.1 to AEM 6. Everything working fine except the strange behavior we noticed with user and group."Everyone" group is added to all users after upgrade and it cannot be removed manually from users using "\useradmin" console. As everyone group has deny permissions on most of the stuff so the users not able to view content on site.Do we need to install any hotfix to fix this issue or is there any other customize way by creating script?Please pour in your suggestions to resolve this issue.Thanks In Advance,RK

Hi,When a Sling servlet is defined using paths, similar to:@SlingServlet(paths = "/bin/example", ...)It is accessible via localhost:4502/bin/example.When it is defined using resourceTypes, similar to:  @SlingServlet(resourceTypes = "foo:example", ...)Under what URL(s) will be accessible?Also when does it make sense to define a servlet using resourceTypes rather than paths?Thanks.

Hi, I created a new project based on the sample-project-archetype: 7 using the new AEM Eclipse plugin.I also added the maven-jspc-plugin in order to compile JSPs during the Maven build. But when running the build, the plugin errors out with:"Failed to execute goal org.apache.sling:maven-jspc-plugin:2.0.8:jspc (compile-jsp) on project aemdemo.ui.apps: file:./aemdemo/aemdemo/ui.apps/target/jsps-to-compile/apps/aemdemo/components/content/example.jsp(11,0) File "/libs/foundation/global.jsp" not found"What am I missing? Is there way to exclude the include during compilation?Thanks!

Hi All,I have a very peculiar problem with site catalyst events. On firefox and IE  browsers, load event is fired 2 times for every page and 1st request has incorrect page name ( content:xyz:page1). I have done mapping in SC Framework in CQ to map pageName property to page.title. Second request has correct page name. When i tried debugging it, i found that storeinitialize event is getting fired twice from kernel.min.js line 540. I am not sure why it is getting fired twice. This issue does not happen on every page load, using firebug on firefox i found it is happening 3 out of 5 time on mozilla. Any help in troubleshooting this issue will be helpful.Regards,Mayank

I have a scenario where we need to listeners to be registered in the same eventListener class. The listeners we are registering for two events as :1. Asset upload’s listener in DAM2. Page property changed listener for a pageadminSession.getWorkspace().getObservationManager().addEventListener(this,Event.NODE_ADDED | Event.NODE_MOVED, "/content/dam",true, null, {dam:Asset}, false);adminSession.getWorkspace().getObservationManager().addEventListener(this,Event.PROPERTY_ADDED | Event.PROPERTY_CHANGED,<some page path>, true, null,{nt:unstructured}, false);Now the issue I am facing is that only one listener is being triggered which in my case is the latter one. So what ever listener I specify last will get registered and only that will fire on that event.Please share any inputs which can make this scenario work and where I can register two event listeners in the same event listener class.

Hi All,I need to add a custom calculated value to populate a read-only asset metadata field in DAM. Is there a handler available for me to do so?To describe further: I have added a custom metadata field for all documents and I need to display a field called ID whose value is the jcr:uuid value of one of its rendition (original) is there a way for me to display that for all the PDF's when I view it in the asset editor?Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Ravi

Hi team,We are upgrading from 5.6.1 to AEM 6.0 SP1.We have completed an inplace upgrade from 5.6.1 to 6.0 SP1 on our Dev instance.We have encountered the following issue in one of our customized bundles.1. The bundle in 5.6.1 requires com.day.crx.security.ldap.sync 2.4,3 or above and has it2. On 6.0 the bundle does not start due to only having com.day.crx.security.ldap.sync v 2.3.26.Investigating [2] further we find that com.day.crx.security.ldap.sync is a fragment exported by com.day.crx.sling.serverBoth 5.6.1 and 6.0 environments have the same version of com.day.crx.sling.server, but for some reason export ldap.sync in two different versions.Any help in troubleshooting further will be appreciated

Hi Guys,I was just curious to know why nobody has written any technical book on CQ5/AEM 6.0 book. Only way to get a book is to go for adobe training and then receiving their hard copy training materials.There are few books available in market but those are for marketing professionals or for content author.Something related with legal/copyright stops writing such technical book?Any idea?Regards,Chandra Gupta

Hi All,How to track the videos in Bright cove and anyone is having the idea how to write the java script code to track the Bright cove videos.

There is a news tweeted from @cybercrimenews about CQ5 being vulnerable to hacker attacks. Any comments from Adobe Professionals on this news?

Hi all, on our project we are using maven vault plugin for deploying application on AEM and I've found something like an issue. After deploying content there are no cq:lastModified and jcr:lastModified properties under jcr:content node (cq:PageContent) but if try to create page through the siteadmin or just modify page these properties exist. Is it a normal behaviour or any ideas why it happens?Thanks.

Hello All,I am trying to get the current user that is logged in by using Jackrabbit, and based on that information have a page redirect to a new page. I was using this tutorial as a starting point http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/developing-aem-osgi-bundles-jackrabbit.html.I was able to get the bundle to work, so I began to edit the code to get the current user that is logged in. However, it keeps returning that the admin user is logged in, even when I log out and log in with another user.Here is the code that I am using:package com.aem.users; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import org.w3c.dom.Element; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; import java.io.StringWriter; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import javax.jcr.Repository; import javax.jcr.SimpleCredentials; import javax.jcr.Node; import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder; import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBui

Hi,When a component is dropped onto a page, or copy/pasted, it is possible to perform some post processing using a SlingPostProcessor custom class.However, when a page is copy/pasted in the Touch UI, as the operation is using the wcmcommand endpoint, SlingPostProcessors are not invoked.Is there something similar to SlingPostProcessor that can be used to implement custom post-processing logic for when pages are created, deleted, copy/pasted, etc.?Thanks.

Hi,I have one custom search page, in which I am going to use SOLR search using Query Builder APIs. I have the UI part ready. Now, I need to write a backend code for the same. Now, I have 2 doubts:Is Query Builder APIs supports SOLR?If yes, then can some please let me know how to write the backend code w.r.t SOLR, as I am completely new in this section(If you can provide some sample codes or some references, that will also be great). Thanks,Kaustav Majoomder

I've got a servlet that does bulk image upload, creates asset pages for the images, then calls Replicator.replicate to activate the new images and pages on the publish. The logs indicate that the activate is successful (both on author and publish) but the images are not actually being published correctly.Here's the code where the image asset itself is created:log.info("---->INFO Creating high-res asset for image: " + metadata.getCatalogNumber() + " in " + assetPath); Asset asset = assetManager.createAsset(assetPath + "/" + metadata.getCatalogNumber(), fis, mimeType, true); Resource metadataRes = asset.adaptTo( Resource.class ).getChild( "jcr:content/metadata" ); addMetadataToAsset( metadataRes, metadata ); replicator.replicate(session, ReplicationActionType.ACTIVATE, asset.getPath());And this is the code that creates the asset page:imagePage = pageManager.create( parentPage.getPath(), imageName, imageTemplate, imageTitle ); // At this point the page is created, but does not have the

I migrated my code base from aem 5.6.1 to 6.0 instance still using 5.6 api. It worked fine.I decided to start using 6.0 api so created new pom files using mvn. That worked fine too.I placed my code in to the bundle and compiled successfully and uploaded and installed my package.However my bundle would not start because i am missing a required package, org.apache.jackrabbit.uuid -- Cannot be resolvedI don't use this class directly. It must be used by some other jackrabbit class.I have this dependency in my pom file            <dependency>                <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>                <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr-commons</artifactId>                <version>2.8.0</version>                <scope>provided</scope>            </dependency>I tried different versions with out any success. I tried adding jackrabbit-core version 1.0 and 1.1. Needles to say nothing worked.Could some one tell me what version or what

Hi,We are in the process of launching the website and it seems like the only issue left is page load times on certain pages when executed against publishers. We are using Varnish as our cache servers and seems to handle stuff quite well.We have user related stuff all over the website and every page has got few ESI includes. Our caching strategy is simple: When a user logs in, we cache the webpage they visited in the their respective cached object for anonymous user there is only one cache. So, if you are visiting the same page and nothing has been change for the logged in user then we show the cached object value otherwise, if anything has changed for the user object then we rerun the queries and cache the results. The running of queries take a while under load.If the cache of that page exists in varnish then the page is getting returned quite quickly. While if not, then queries are executed on the publisher and some pages have got a huge data sets and hence under load sometimes each q
