tagmanager.findByTitle() not working for special characters like "&"

Hi,

I am writing a piece of code that uses the title to fetch the corresponding Tag. I am facing issues for tags with & sign.

 

Example:

        String tagTtitle = "Celebrations & Holidays";
        FindResults result = tagManager.findByTitle(tagTtitle)

       Tag[] tagArr = result.tags;

        for(Tag tag : tagArr){
               tagList.add(tag);
         }
 

This is a title under Stock Photography, but returns an empty result. Works fine for tags with regular titles. 

 

Thanks

    Hi

    -----------------------------------

    Not Sure but you can try

    ------------------------------------

    You can try %encoding the string.

    Eg. let say for "admin@123" we could write admin%40123. //@ has hex value of 40 so we escaped it as %40. This is the technique use by many browsers for handling Unicode characters.

    So for, 

    &=> %26

    Thanks and Regards

    You are correct - i was able to reproduce your results: 

      TagManager tMgr = tmf.getTagManager(session);
      //String myTag =  "properties:style/color"; 
      String myTag =  "Celebrations & Holidays"; 
                          
     log.info("**** ABOUT TO FIND TAGS");
     RangeIterator<Resource> tagsIt = tMgr.findByTitle(myTag).resources;

    Special chars seem to be an issue.

    This is a bug.  Please log a  ticket here so Eng and SUpport are made aware:

      scott i am trying to find the dam asset path with below sample code in 6.3 and getting null value

      Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<String, Object>();

              param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "allegionCorpService");   

              ResourceResolver resolver = null;

              Session session = null;

      try {

      //ResourceResolver resourceResolver = resolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);

      //session = repository.loginService("allegionCorpService", null);       

              resolver = resolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);

                  session = resolver.adaptTo(Session.class);            

                  log.error("####### session ######### : " + session.getUserID());

      TagManager tMgr = tmf.getTagManager(session);

      String myTag = tagID; //

      RangeIterator<Resource> tagsIt = tMgr.find(myTag); - getting null pointer exception means tagIt is null

      error log

      Hi,

       

      Can anyone please explain why tagManager.resolveByTitle("Celebrations & Holidays"); not working? The API states that it uses Title Path property. Can you please explain what it is?

       

      Thanks in advance.

      Hi,

      I too agree with Scott statement. Special character might cause the issue. Otherwise it should work.

      This is a bug. Create support ticket here for the same: https://helpx.adobe.com/marketing-cloud/contact-support.html

      Thanks,
      Ratna Kumar.

      The argument of the Function is String Type (resolveByTitle(String tagTitlePath) ), i doubt that this would be a bug. It could be asDesigned, that these special characters need some Escaping.

      I would Recommend you to Create support ticket here for the same: https://helpx.adobe.com/marketing-cloud/contact-support.html
