I think the difference was that I copied the entire tree of nodes from libs to apps within my app and then modified them. I read that Sling Resource Merger can only be used with Granite. So, maybe the AEM Site output preset in the XML Documentation package doesn't use granite and that is the explana...

Thanks. I do know the information you are mentioning. My case is unusual maybe because the components are being used to Render DITA content as part of the XML Documentation addon. The content is not in the JSP and it is nowhere that I have seen so far and that is the piece I don't know. I am guessin...

I think I understand that much. In the slingbucks example, the content part has JSON and the app part has ESP scripts that create HTML from the JSON, data the user entered and structure in the ESP. In my case, there is only HTML structure created by JSP and associated CSS and Javascript. I see no co...

My knowledge of Sling and AEM is improving, but I'm still confused about a lot. I have components and templates that produce HTML using JSP. The last part of the path looks like this in CRX/DE: something/jcr:content/contentnode contentnode has sling:resourceType=foundation/components/parsysjcr:conte...

I am slowly understanding more things about sling, but so far I have not been able to apply the knowledge to customize AEM site templates, for the XML documentation addon. There is a path to the template that has properties for other templates that transform content to different pages and areas of t...

Both of these comments are very helpful. Thank you!

For example, if I look at /libs/foundation/components/parsys there is a child node parsys.jsp. Does any jsp file get executed? Or what declares that that jsp file should be executed?I have similar questions about cq:Template, cq:Page etc.Note that the question is not: "how do I create a component?"

Navigate, not write. I can't navigate to /etc over webdav, but I can to /etc/fmdita/dita_resources.

Ah. It's only the /etc path that I'm not allowed to write to. It works over webdav if use the full path.
