I'm working on implementing an IP based redirection script. This involves using Maxmind GeoIP2 database to find out the location of the user. The problem I'm having is that there's a specific line that's causing AEM to break. If I comment out the line, the page displays as it should, if I uncomment it out I get the following errors:
org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException: org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly.SightlyException: org.apache.sling.api.scripting.ScriptEvaluationException: org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly.SightlyException: Cannot find a a file corresponding to class za.co.npw.utils.NavHelper_v2 in the repository.
