[shubhankarb2742]

In AEM 6.0 , How we can write our custom IMPORTER Service , which implements the com.day.cq.polling.importer.Importer ?

Requirement is mentioned below:

 We will have custom servlet, where we will invoke the overriden importData() method, for specific resource target.

Thanks in advance.

Hi shubhankarb27425557  
As mentioned by Praveen and Bsloki , We can implements Importer to act as custom importer.

Community article showing this is :-

//It covers how to create a custom AEM data importer service that is able to import data at specific intervals and using a cq:PollConfig mixin node. In this use case, this method is invoked based on an interval property of acq:PollConfig mixin node.

Option 2

We can import data from some text file or excel file also. Or we can create a restful API and can send any data in form of stream, json, xml anything.
