AEM 6.3 WCM Core Components

[harishv99010453]

Hi team - We are using wcm core components in our application, however if we spin up the publish instances with "nosamplecontent" the packages related to core components are not getting installed. Is it the recommendation from Adobe ? If that is the case should we explicitly add the packages in publish or do we have any alternatives. At the moment which ever component used wcm core components internally si giving 500 error on publish as we dont have the /apps/core....

Suggestions & thoughts appreciated !

Dear Harish,

Given your code relies on wcm core components and their absence gives 500, would expect you need to install them.

If you think they should be part of Core AEM system. Raise daycare and ask to amend nosamplecontent rules to include core components.

Regards,

Peter

Activate the core components from the author instance.using content tree activation.

Just build and deploy following the online Readme.

Preveen, nope if I install them I am good

smacdonald2008​ ok I will follow github, but my question is it a best practice to have the core comp package in prod publishers, as adobe itself is not including with nosamplecontent run mode

You need it on Pub - else the code that uses it will not work.

Say i have a app that uses components whose super resource type is a core component - look:

For this component to render on PUB - the Core Components need to be available on PUB to satisfy this resource super type.
