cq:template does not work when using resourceSuperType

We have a global components package that stores all of our "BASE" components.

When I extend the component using resourceSuperType, set a new component group, it seems to ignore the cq:template associated with it.

Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

When extending a component resourceSuperType is enough. How you are refering to cq:template property associated with it. what are you trying to achieve

Make sure scripts (.jsp/.html) you have included in base are available in child page component

Do you have an example that you can place in a Dropbox that some community member can download and see. That would be helpful.

Hi deana66659071 ,

AEM Sling resource Inheritance model does not support inheritance for cq:template node. In order to fulfill your requirement, you may need to solve it by yourself. 

Possible Solution

Write a custom request filter for the POST request which should be able to look up the parent if any property is being used in current resource. Post request filter is important because once a component with cq:template is dropped onto the page, cq:template properties become the part of the current node/resource.

So, post request should make sure that current resource has required properties and if cq:template is not found in a component but it is there in parent component, then pull properties from parent component.

I hope this make sense.

Regards,

Jitendra

Jitendra,

I'd like to try that solution but I'm not sure how to implement it.  Do you know where I could find an example of your solution?

Thanks,
