    Hi,

    I am new to AEM and am still learning. I want to implement a search component and have been able to do so with various approaches. Can someone please explain the difference between using a queryBuilder API and not using one for the component? And which approach should be used in what situations?

    Also, HTL is used in place of JSP in AEM these days, and I have created the search component using JSP, would it be considered as a bad approach?

    Hi,

    I am new to AEM and just begun to understand the logistics of AEM. I would like to know why there was a strong need to switch from JSP to HTL?

    Hi Sindhu,

    It's great to listen that you started learning AEM. HTL has more advantages over JSP like

    1) Increased Security

    2) Simplified Development

    3) Reduced Costs

    For Further Reference you can go to this link Overview

    Hi Radhika,

    It depends on which IDE you are comfortable working with. Personally I feel that IDEA feels context. IDEA indexes the whole your project, analyses everything it has, and even builds the syntax tree. Thanks to it, at any time, wherever you put the cursor, IDEA knows where you are and what can be done there.

    Happy Exploring!

    This is a very common error. To resolve this, under the core of the project in the pom.xml check and modify the <Sling-model-Packages>  under the maven-plugin. If the package is not same as the package used then this error occurs. Hope this helps!

    @aishwaryar21148360 We have many HELPX artilces that show HTL and dialogs. See - Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating a HTL Repeating Data Set 6.3 Component that uses Sling Models

    Hi Mahita,

    When you are overriding OOTB Text Component all default plugins will be added, in order to disable any of default plugins overlay OOTB Text component cq:dialog in your component add that plugin under rtePlugins node which you want to disable and add features property to it and leave the value as empty to disable plugin. Here is a link which u can go through Configuring the Rich Text Editor

    Hi Reshma,

    We can disable the dialog box though we are inheriting from OOTB Component for that we use some properties in Sling Resource Merger Concept Using the Sling Resource Merger in AEM  here is the link where you can refer to. So you need to add a property sling:hideResource with true as its value under the cq:dialog node in your overriding component. I hope this works....
