I have a simple servlet that should return some commerce data. I have simplified the example here... but the issue is that if there is a link in any of the properties then I get invalid JSON and the link checker filter appears to altering the response even though I have disabled it via configuration.
package com.example.issue;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolver;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.ValueMap;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.ServletResolverConstants;
import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingAllMethodsServlet;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import javax.servlet.Servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import java.io.IOException;
@Component(
service= Servlet.class,
property = {
SimpleCommerceServlet.RESOURCE_TYPE_DEFAULT,
SimpleCommerceServlet.SELECTOR,
SimpleCommerceServlet.METHOD_GET,
SimpleCommerceServlet.EXTENSION_JSON
}
)
public class SimpleCommerceServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1647028361800528653L;
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SimpleCommerceServlet.class);
public static final String RESOURCE_TYPE_DEFAULT = ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_RESOURCE_TYPES + "=" + ServletResolverConstants.DEFAULT_RESOURCE_TYPE;
public static final String EXTENSION_JSON = ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_EXTENSIONS+"=json";
public static final String METHOD_GET = ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_METHODS + "=GET";
public static final String SELECTOR = ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_SELECTORS +"=getCommerceDetails";
private ResourceResolver resourceResolver;
@Override
protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();
Resource resource = resourceResolver.getResource("/etc/commerce/products/we-retail/custom/sample_product");
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
ValueMap vm = resource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class);
jsonObject.put("Title", vm.get("jcr:title"));
jsonObject.put("Summary", vm.get("summary"));
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.getWriter().write(jsonObject.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
LOGGER.error("Failed to get and process JSON");
} finally {
resourceResolver.close();
}
}
}
I have created a new product at /etc/commerce/products/we-retail/custom/sample_product with properties
jcr:title = Sample Product
summary =
<p>This is a summary but it also has a <a title="Google" href="https://www" target="_blank">link</a>.</p>
Calling the Servlet like:
http://localhost:8080/bin/commerce.getCommerceDetails.details.json
Results in invalid json
{"Title":"Sample Product","Summary":"<p>This is a summary but it also has a <img src="/libs/cq/linkchecker/resources/linkcheck_o.gif" alt="invalid link: Google\\" title="invalid link: Google\\" border="0">link<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n"}
Note the insertion of the linkcheck gif!
I have tried using LinkCheckerSetting to ignore Internal and External.
I have disabled link checking and rewriting via com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerTransformerFactory
I have changed the Link Check Override to ^. in com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl
Any other ideas on how to prevent the Link Checker from changing the response of this Servlet?
I'm running AEM 6.3 SP1
Solved! Go to Solution.
So thanks to Jrg Hoh's comment, I added a new sling rewriter configuration for this case as it seems the default rewriter configuration was being used which tries to rewrite the html tags in the json response.
So I ended up with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
contentTypes="[application/json,text/html]"
enabled="{Boolean}true"
generatorType="htmlparser"
order="{Long}1"
selectors="[getCommerceDetails]"
serializerType="htmlwriter"
paths="[/bin/commerce]"
transformerTypes="[]">
<generator-htmlparser
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
includeTags="[NOT_A_REAL_TAG]"/>
</jcr:root>
So, a few takeaways from this...
This looks like a bug. If you disabled Link Checker - it should not be affecting the servlet.
Check this to make sure you have done all that is required - Disable the CQ5 Link Checker

JSON requests are not rewritten by default. How is the rewriter configured on your system? Have you enabled it for json? In the webconsole you can check all rewrites at localhost:4502/system/console/status-slingrewriter
Jörg
So are you suggesting that we need to have a custom sling rewriter to resolve? There isn't a rewriter for json but it does appear to get picked up by the default at the end of the list.
Here is the response from the link /system/console/status-slingrewriter ... these are just the OOTB rewriters as the instance doesn't have custom ones.

So, if remove the transformers from default I still get an invalid response
{"Title":"Sample Product","Summary":"<p>This is a summary but it also has a <a title="\" href="Google\\" target="https://www\\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n"}

I am new to AEM but facing same issue. Can you please help with some screen shots or detail steps how you have resolved this. This ther any node to be create under project ?
I also checked below URL, I don't see any JSON entry.
http://localhost:4502/system/console/status-slingrewriter.txt

Hi Luke,
thanks for letting us know how you resolved your issue. Regarding the finding 4 (not having a rewriter breaks the console) I would ask you to raise a ticket at the Sling Jira. That should not happen :-)
Regards,
Jörg

Hi Luke,
thanks for reporting it and even providing a patch!
Jörg
Thanks Luke, this helped . Just putting it here if anyone else tries this - the rewrite configuration sometimes works after restarting AEM instance.

just a side comment from your code, no need to close the resourceresolver and I wouldn't use member-vars in your servlet.
