RequestAttributes- data-sly-include

[v1101]

Hello All - Can I use the request-attributes in data-sly-include like the below so that I can use the values in JSP.
E.g.
<sly data-sly-include="${ '/apps/project-name/components/../manipulate.jsp' @ requestAttributes='abc.html'}" />

Please confirm if the syntax is correct. if so,  what is the parameter name should I use it to get the value?

<%= request.getParameter("param") %>

Hi @v1101 ,

Yes, you can pass request-attributes [0] to data-sly-include and data-sly-resource in order to use them in the receiving HTL-script. This allows you to properly pass-in parameters into scripts or components:

<sly data-sly-include="${ 'something.html' @ requestAttributes=a_map_of_attributes}" />

In regards to accessing the parameter name, check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1890438/how-to-get-parameters-from-the-url-with-jsp for more details.

Thanks!!

Hi @v1101 

In order to pass values to JSP, you are in right direction to use requestAttributes. But the parameter requestAttributes takes a map instead of a single value. In order to set a map and then pass as request parameter refer https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-htl/using/htl/block-statements.html#reques....

public class Settings extends WCMUsePojo { 
// used to pass is requestAttributes to data-sly-resource 
  public Map<String, Object> settings = new HashMap<String, Object>(); 

@Override public void activate() throws Exception { 
    settings.put("property1", "abc.html"); 
  }
}

you can also use sling model to set key value pairs.

you can then call jsp like this:

<sly data-sly-use.myclass="com.adobe.examples.htl.core.hashmap.Settings" data-sly-include="${ '/apps/project-name/components/../manipulate.jsp' @ requestAttributes=myclass.settings}" />

In JSP file, you can get this property value like :

<%@include file="/libs/granite/ui/global.jsp"%>
<%=request.getAttribute("property1")%>​

you can not use getparameter as it will provide you query parameter in the URL.

Hope it helps!

Thanks!

Thanks nupurjain for the response. Basically I want to pass the specific clientlib category details of the component to the JSP and the category details may vary based on every component.

Hi @v1101 

In the similar way, you can send one key value pair with value equals to clientlib category to the JSP include.

If I have multiple values configs in pojo class. e.g settings.put("property1", "abc.html"); settings.put("property2", "sample1.html"); settings.put("property3", "sample2.html"); How do I pass specific item say 'property2' in the data-sly-include?

[Nupur_Jain]

@v1101 

Even if there are multiple key value pairs, there is no harm sending all pairs in include. We can not add specific pair from Map to requestAttribute, we have to send the whole map. OR either create new map with only required property and then send in requestAttribute.

Hi @nupujain - I am getting an error while trying to invoke the jsp and passing the request attributes, I am getting an error. Can you plz advise?

<sly data-sly-use.category="com.test.testpkg.aem.core.models.Settings"
data-sly-include="{'test.jsp' @ requestAttributes=category.settings}"></sly>

Error Details:
com.adobe.cq.sightly.WCMScriptHelper Failed to locate script {'test.jsp' @ requestAttributes=category.settings}

Hi @v1101 

Can you confirm test.jsp is present in the same folder where you are including 

<sly data-sly-use.category="com.test.testpkg.aem.core.models.Settings"
data-sly-include="{'test.jsp' @ requestAttributes=category.settings}"></sly> in HTL/Sightly HTML file.

test.jsp is relative path, so it expects test.jsp in the same folder. If the file is not present in same folder, you will have to include file with absolute path.

Hi @nupujain - File is present in the same folder. I have already tried with absolute & relative path but no luck. I am still getting he same error.
