I've created a page template by adding "core/wcm/components/page/v2/page" as resourceSuperType. The XML is here.

To get the dropdown items from datasource, I've created a servlet that set a list of dropdown. For simplicity, I've hardcoded the list in servlet. here is the code.

 

 

 


import com.adobe.granite.ui.components.ds.DataSource;
import com.adobe.granite.ui.components.ds.SimpleDataSource;
import com.adobe.granite.ui.components.ds.ValueMapResource;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.TreeMap;



@Component(
        service = Servlet.class,
        property = {
                Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=data source",
                ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_METHODS + "=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_GET,
                ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_RESOURCE_TYPES + "=/apps/project/components",
        }
)
public class DynamicDataSourceServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet {

    
    protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) {
            ResourceResolver resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();
            Map<String , String> data = new TreeMap<>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                data.put("text"+i, "value"+i);
            }
            // Creating the data source object
            @SuppressWarnings({"unchecked", "rawtypes"})
            DataSource ds = new SimpleDataSource(new TransformIterator<>(data.keySet().iterator(), (Transformer) o -> {
                String dropValue = (String) o;
                ValueMap vm = new ValueMapDecorator(new HashMap<>());
                vm.put("text", dropValue);
                vm.put("value", data.get(dropValue));
                return new ValueMapResource(resourceResolver, new ResourceMetadata(), JcrConstants.NT_UNSTRUCTURED,
                        vm);
            }));
            request.setAttribute(DataSource.class.getName(), ds);
    }
}
