You can create your own AEM service using an OSGi bundle that contains Java API that invokes Restful services. See this community article:

As an example -- it uses a Google Restful web service.

Hi Santosh,

If i am not wrong you are asking about calling a REST service from CQ5. Please find the below code line which tells to call REST service from JSP using AJAX call.

$.ajax({
         type: "POST",
         contentType: "application/json",
         dataType: 'json',
         url: 'REST Service URL', -- Need to be changed
         data: JsonJSquery, -- Need to be changed
         async: true,
         success: function(data){
           //Code to be written
           }      
         });

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I came to know that I was getting java.net.UnknowHostException due to the restriction policy at my company. It worked fine when I connected wifi to my mobile network. :)

Will this work with AEM 6.3? There are sample downloads available specific to 6.1 and 6.2, but not 6.3 and the Article Summary Version row states

Version

Adobe Experience Manager 6.1/ 6.2

When I downloaded and installed the 6.2 package and tried it out, I got a SightlyException error after submitting the two cities input:
"Cannot find a file corresponding to class com.community.rest.core.HeroRestComponent in the repository."
