Hi, 

 

I assume you are talking about the Sling model exporter, if so, yes, you can actually configure the extension and selector(s)

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class, resourceType="/apps/myApps/components/myComponent", defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL) @Exporter(name = "jackson", selector="mySelector", extensions = "myextension", options = { @ExporterOption(name = "SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS", value = "true") })

 Here you can find a detailed article explaining how to use the Sling Model Exporter using custom selectors http://sgaem.blogspot.com/2017/06/sling-model-exporter-in-aem-63.html 

 

If, on the other hand, you are trying to access something like this: http://localhost:4502/content/tmt/en/test-pages/_jcr_content.nt.content.tidy.json without "jcr:content" in the path, you could set up a redirect. However, the full path is most likely correct because it clearly indicates the source of the "json" data.

 

Hope this helps.

    Thank you!

     

    Similar approach I have followed but <resoucePath>.model.json works why not <resourcePath>.custom.test.json works.

    Do you know why I need to write the redirect?

      I assume it's ootb behavior that handles model.json resolution for pages in that manner so we can avoid appending jcr content . One option I can think of is writing a sling filter to forward the request to /jcr:content.custom.json when selector is custom and incoming path is indeed a cqpage. But again the question is where is it that you want this custom selector? If it's spa use local Dev model client to append the path instead of implementing a backend solution. Hope this info helps.

        Hello

        To run a Sling Model with a custom selector without appending "jcr:content" to the URL https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/register-sling-model-exporter-at-cq-page-with-custom-selector/m-p/364118#M20284/Salesforce Marketing Cloud Course in AEM, follow these steps:

        1. Create a Sling Model with the correct resource type.
        2. Configure the resource type in AEM.
        3. Use the custom selector in the URL, like yourpage.customselector.json.
        4. Handle the selector logic in your Sling Model.

        This allows you to access the desired content without "jcr:content" in the URL.

         

        Thank you.
