The servelt returning empty array in publish but in author I am getting data

Here is my servelt code:

Hi @tatrived 

Can you please check your servlet is installed in the publish instances & in the active state? Also please check the result is cached or not. And also can you please check whether it is failing any where or not. You can check the logs. Also please ensure the access rights for the service users in the publish instance.

Check the service user permission in publisher

 

cq:lastReplicationAction property of a page. This property is protected and cannot be accessed by anonymous users.

Hi @tatrived 

  1. Verify Permissions: Ensure that the user accessing the publish environment has the necessary permissions to read the child resources under the parent resource. Check the user's permissions in AEM and make sure they have read access to the required content.

  2. Check Content Structure: Confirm that the content structure in the publish environment matches the structure in the author environment. Ensure that the parent resource and its child resources exist in the same location and have the same properties.

  3. Debugging: Add logging statements to your servlet code to check if the parent resource and child resources are being retrieved correctly in the publish environment. You can log the values of parentResource and childResources.hasNext() to see if they are null or empty.

  4. Resource Resolver: In some cases, the resource resolver used in the servlet may not have the necessary permissions to access the child resources in the publish environment. You can try using a different resource resolver or adapting the existing resource resolver to a system user or a user with appropriate permissions.

  5. Replication Status: Ensure that the child resources are properly replicated to the publish environment. Check the replication status of the parent resource and its child resources to ensure they are replicated successfully.

  6. Cache Clearing: If you have recently made changes to the content structure or permissions, try clearing the AEM cache in the publish environment. This can help ensure that the latest content and permissions are reflected.

Hi @tatrived 
Please check the replication properties on publish by default it is not available on publish instances 

https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/cq-lastreplicated-not-foun... 

 

Better to write debugger logs to debug and point the exact problem. Make sure you use log.debug but info.

 Calendar lastModifiedDate = page.getProperties().get("jcr:lastModified", Calendar.class);
        log.info("lastModifiedDate: {}", page.getProperties());
 
i am getting always null for lastModified property ?
and if i am using cq:lastModified it will always giving some value irrespective of page is published or not?
 Calendar lastModifiedDate = page.getProperties().get("cq:lastModified", Calendar.class);

Below line is the issue as it will not allow you to read node if we are not logged in to read resource and it'd data.

 

It will he good if you start your publish in debug mode and debug the issue.

 

ResourceResolver resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();
