AEM 6.4 Servlet POST request not hitting servlet

Hi,

I tried your code for me its working.

Are you using new osgi annotation or felix annotation? Please check Jorg's answer in related Post.

Thanks

I think I'm using the new osgi annotation. I have also tried the solution in Jorg's answer on the related post before asking this question.

My imports for the servlet are these:

import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.sling.jcr.api.SlingRepository;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingAllMethodsServlet;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Reference;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.jcr.Session;
import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.HttpConstants;
import org.osgi.framework.Constants;

These are in my pom file:

I have created a servlet with the above the code mentioned by you, I have also build it successfully, when I accessed the page:http://localhost:/bin/damUpload/videohttp://localhost:8502/bin/damUpload/video, I found the message "servlet found!"

I am making a post call using the code:

$.post(

                           "/content/we-retail/ca/fr/jcr:content/",

                       {variableName : value},

                       function(result) {

                           window.alert('Here is your result : <strong>' + result + '</strong>');

                        }

                );

it is creating a node and writing the data to the node's property without a servlet. I think it making use of defaultPostServlet, but how can I make a call to this custom servlet?

Shaheen ,

  For the above code Arun provided , did you add doPost before testing POST call ?

Hi,

What is your action url? why are you making call to /content/we-retail/ca/fr/jcr:content/?

You should make a Ajax call to /bin/damUpload/video

e.g.

$.post(

                           "/bin/damUpload/video",

                       {variableName : value},

                       function(result) {

                           window.alert('Here is your result : <strong>' + result + '</strong>');

                        }

                );

Sorry, my mistake, I dint mention it clearly.

My first query is:

When I am using this code:

$.post(

                           "/content/we-retail/ca/fr/jcr:content/",

                       {variableName : value},

                       function(result) {

                           window.alert('Here is your result : <strong>' + result + '</strong>');

                        }

                );

, in a ".js" file,

the data gets persisted to the node at this path, without a servlet. I am not sure how that is happening. Is there any default servlet provided by AEM which is being used? 

No, I just added the exact code and made a call like:

$.get(

                           "/bin/damUpload/video",

                       {comment : comment},

                       function(result) {

                           window.alert('Here is your result : <strong>' + result + '</strong>');

                        }

                );

it works, but when I changed the path to :/content/we-retail/ca/fr/jcr:content, it stopped working.

Obviously, this is the expected behaviour in this case , as you are actually doing a "POST" to a resource path. If the resource path points to a custom servlet , or has a servlet registered for its resourceType , then your custom servlet will be executed. Otherwise it will be treated a default POST call and all your data will get saved to the node you mentioned.
