Send data from dialog to a servlet.

[demd43642519]

Hi guys,

I'm using AEM 6.2 and I'm looking for a way to send values from my component's dialog to a servlet.

is this a way to submit the data when the author confirms the dialog ?

Can you point me some resource into this ?

Thanks !

Yes, but by default AEM will submit the resource to based on form action for that resource node.

But you can add your custom JS code based on event, like submit/success to send data to your servlet.

So let me ask to see if i understood correctly.

I can add a listener.js and configure it so when i press confirm on the component's dialog it will send an AJAX post request to my servlet with the values form the component ?

Thanks

If you want to pass data an author entered into a dialog to an AEM Java backend - why not use HTL and WCMUsePojo.

Yes, but what is your use case?

[demd43642519]

Yeah, as an author I want to send the data from cq dialog to a servlet.

It makes more sense to use Sling Models or WCMUsePojo to get dialog data to Java logic.
