any idea how to access them?

Hi,

getItem() returns ValueMap, you can read values from value map like

  dbUserName = valueMapObj.get("dbUser", "No UserId found");

ValueMap ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.")

i cant use that because i wont always know the names of the nodes.

i am using javascript by the way so would this cause any problems?

[arunpatidar]

You can loop through to get desire property like

ValueMap property = getResource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class);
for(Entry<String, Object> e : property.entrySet()) {
   String key = e.getKey();
   Object value = e.getValue();
   //use the key and value here
}

No JS USE API is a way to write java inside JS, so won't be a problem.

that doesnt work if i just copy and past that into my javascript. is there something else i need to do to get the java working in javascript?

Are you using JS USE API to work with a HTL component?

[arunpatidar · Accepted solution]

Hi,

If you copy paste, this is not gonna work with JS, you need to convert this into JS USE API syntax.
