Re: Does AEM 6.3 Sites upgrade require an upgrade to the AEM Forms Server? - Adobe Experience Manager

JaideepBrar, thanks very much for the quick answer.

Does AEM 6.3 Sites upgrade require an upgrade to the AEM Forms Server? - Adobe Experience Manager

We are on AEM 6.3.3.5. We also use AEM Forms Server on a completely separate set of servers. When we upgrade AEM from 6.3 to 6.5, must we also upgrade AEM Forms server? I'm not asking if it's best practice to upgrade both at the same time, because it surely would be nice to do. We are trying to minimize the effort for Phase I of our upgrade, and deferring the upgrade of AEM Forms Server could save us time.Thanks very much for any helpful advice you can offer.-Nestor

Re: Custom Workflow Launcher Configurations Per Environment in Source Code - Adobe Experience Manager

Appreciate you suggesting a possible alternative gauravb10066713. For now, we only have one affected workflow (maybe two), so writing/maintaining additional and possibly unsupported custom workflow code doesn't quite seem worth the trade-off of manually enabling/disabling the workflow launcher. We still might give your suggestion a shot if we have time, and if so, will let you know how it goes. Thanks again gauravb10066713.

Re: Custom Workflow Launcher Configurations Per Environment in Source Code - Adobe Experience Manager

Very logical idea, and I tried something similar before posting, but no dice. I even tried it again in case I missed something the first try, both with and without the square brackets for runModes value in .content.xml. Thanks so much gauravb10066713 for your awesome suggestions and time.

Re: Custom Workflow Launcher Configurations Per Environment in Source Code - Adobe Experience Manager

gauravb10066713, thanks again for commenting. We do use different runmodes on all our servers. Unlike regular osgi configs for stuff like com.day.cq.mailer.DefaultMailService.xml, the workflow launcher config is in one folder, and the file is named .content.xml. For our example workflow, it's:-ui.content/src/main/content/jcr_root/etc/workflow/launcher/config/my_custom_workflow/.content.xmlIt's not that we only want to run it or not run it on certain servers, it's that we'd like different config...

Re: Custom Workflow Launcher Configurations Per Environment in Source Code - Adobe Experience Manager

Hi gauravb10066713. The runModes property only limits where this single configuration gets applied for the specified workflow launcher. We're trying to use multiple configurations that are selectively applied to different servers. The runModes property might be part of the solution, but it doesn't help with the multiple configurations piece (unless there's more to it that I'm not seeing).Thanks very much for your input.

Custom Workflow Launcher Configurations Per Environment in Source Code - Adobe Experience Manager

We're using AEM 6.3.3.2. Is it possible to customize configurations in our source code for individual workflow launchers on a per environment basis, similar to OSGI configs? The goal is that each Maven build will apply the custom settings to each workflow on a per environment basis. We'd like to avoid manually changing settings after deployment.With OSGI configs, we have various config folders in our ui.apps project that might apply to individual servers (DEV, QA, etc.). Each server uses custom ...

Jorg, thanks for your additional perspective. Very nice to know that the added complexity could even cause us unexpected issues. Going to follow the KISS principle!

Re: Should a company's custom jcr property names contain a namespace? - Adobe Experience Manager

smacdonald2008, thanks a lot for the quick reply. It definitely helps! Based on your answer (and well known expertise), I think we'll avoid including namespaces in our custom property names. Good to know it's an option, but not a hard rule.

Should a company's custom jcr property names contain a namespace? - Adobe Experience Manager

If your company is named MyCo and you sell books, you might want to store properties like total pages for book nodes in the JCR. Are you supposed to name your company's custom JCR properties so that they start with a namespace? If so, should your custom properties always start with the namespace jcr: or something else like myco: (inspired by your company name)? We've seen consultants use both, e.g., totalPages or jcr:totalPages.We're just trying to be consistent with what the rest of community i...

Re: What Versions of the Apache Sling Specification Do AEM 6.3 and 6.4 Implement? - Adobe Experience Manager

The answer we were looking for was a combination of what arunp99088702 and dan.klco (and others) said below.AEM provides components that might closely match a Sling API version, but those components are updated over time and details change. It's not an "All Sling 9" or "All Sling 10" implementation.However, just to get an idea of which versions of the Sling API that different versions of AEM most closely match (at least at a certain point in time), look here:https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-...

dan.klco, awesome of you to clarify things. I understand how this post could confuse other readers, but I really was just looking for the "base" version of Sling that's supported by AEM 6.3 and 6.4. The answer I accepted was perfect for our needs, but might cause others to jump to wrong conclusions. Makes perfect sense how the AEM implementation is not exactly all Sling version 9 or 10. We just needed to know, in general, which set of API docs to use for reference (e.g., we wouldn't want to use...

smacdonald2008 and Ratna Kumar, first thanks for your replies. I tried to make it clear in the original post that I already know I can look at the various Sling bundles and versions in the web console. It doesn't answer the question.The documentation on the official Apache Sling site is written to cover a specific version of Sling, even though Sling has many pieces. That's all I'm trying to determine--what version of Sling as referenced on the official Apache Sling site is implemented by AEM? ...

What Versions of the Apache Sling Specification Do AEM 6.3 and 6.4 Implement? - Adobe Experience Manager

Can someone please tell me what version of the Sling specification AEM implements, and how we can look this up for each version of AEM? I'm not looking for a list of Sling-related bundle versions in the web console, but rather the single, general Sling specification version. Sling is currently at version 10. I saw a stackoverflow post that says AEM 6.3 implements Sling 9, but don't know how to confirm this.Thanks for your help.-Nestor

Re: AEM 6.3 Dispatcher Cache and SlingHttpServletRequest set/getAttribute() - Adobe Experience Manager

We did away with the Filter completely. In the sling model class, we @Inject SlingHttpServletRequest, use a @PostConstruct method to start our custom logic. Going to mark this complete as the scope of the question grew too large. Thanks for providing ideas.

Hi navinkaushal, thanks for replying. Please let me know if you need additional details.On Dispatcher, it's for anonymous users. On Author and Publish, we must authenticate to access links.We aren't using a servlet. The filter already has access to the request and response. A SlingModel injects a SlingHttpServletRequest into the model. It uses that injected request to read an attribute set by the filter.1.

AEM 6.3 Dispatcher Cache and SlingHttpServletRequest set/getAttribute() - Adobe Experience Manager

I've seen posts about issues using an HttpSession object for setting/getting attributes with AEM. Do those same issues apply to setting/getting attributes for a SlingHttpServletRequest?

robots.txt in AEM 6.3 - definitive AEM documentation on where it goes? - Adobe Experience Manager

For non-AEM websites, there's usually a clearly defined web root folder where you can place files like robots.txt. In AEM (v6.3), it's a bit more complicated with the Author, Publish, and Dispatcher instances. Adding a robots.txt should be simple, but I'm not sure how to do it in AEM, and I can't find definitive documentation. We don't need info about what the robots.txt file should contain--we just need the steps for getting it on our new AEM site.Do we simply send our robots.txt file to a serv...

smacdonald2008, thanks for posting again. I think that will definitely come in handy. Still, I'm really asking if there's a way to serve the images from an external server without having them stored in my local sandbox's DAM. I don't want my sandbox DAM to be externally located either, which I saw is one option folks are using for solutions involving Docker. Again, thanks for helpful info--it just doesn't answer my question.
