Sorry for the delay, but I finally got it working. A few notes:My
initial design was never going to work. I tried to pass the servlet's
request.getResourceResolver() down to my worker class and then reference
it in the new Thread. But when the servlet then issues a redirect (or
any other response) back to the client, the request, and therefore the
ResourceResolver, is closed, and the thread throws an exception when
trying to use the now-closed resolver.My second attempt was close, but I
had @Ref...
Julio Tobar Wow, you're fast! I've been playing with a couple of
approaches and still no-go, but haven't tried your latest suggestion
yet. I'm wrapping up work now -- we have a holiday weekend here -- so
I'll get back to this Tuesday morning. I'll let you know how it works
out -- thanks very much for all the help!
Julio TobarWell , I just tried, but immediately inside the run() method
of my Runnable, when I test the resolver I get an exception that says
This makes sense to me -- I get the resolver from the request to my
servlet. The servlet passes its resolver to my worker class (so far so
good, it logs the admin user), but the worker class spawns a new thread
and in its run() method the resolver is closed. I think that's by the
time the Runnable executes run(), the servlet has already issued its
redirect...
I'm not downloading from the response; I'm downloading from a separate
URL. The flow is:user opens a page with a form from my AEM site, and
POSTs the form to my servletservlet converts the form to PDF, sends it
to docusign server-side, and gets back a DocuSign redirect URLservlet
responds to the request from (1) with a redirect to the URL from (2)the
redirect displays the DocuSign form-signing page. When the user
completes it, that page GETs my servlet again, with an ID that lets me
know where t...
I'm working on a solution that receives an HTTP request containing a URL
to a file, which I want to download and store in the JCR.So, I have a
servlet that receives the request. It spawns a thread so that I can do
the download in the background, and then redirects to a confirmation
page. This allows me to send the user on their way without waiting while
I try to download the file.I can download the file just fine, but I'm
having trouble getting a usable ResourceResolver to store the file in
the ...
rmahendr Yes, I've read that article, and the service ranking info tells
me how the framework selects one implementation out of many. What it
does not address, and what I'm still seeking, is how to change the
service ranking value via configuration rather than by changing an
annotation in the Java class. Changing the annotation means
re-deploying, and I want to avoid that.From what I can tell, If an
@Component has metatype=true, then @Property annotations on fields
inside the class generate cont...
That sounds promising -- I looked at ReferenceCardinality but didn't
look at ConfigurationPolicy. And, I was hoping to be able to make the
service.ranking a property -- that would generate a Felix GUI for it --
but I've only done that on fields within a class, so I didn't think it
could be done. Can you sketch out some example code that would show how
I would decorate the class to make service.ranking into a property?I
have to leave for the day -- I'll take a look back here tomorrow. Thanks
for ...
Jorg, thanks, that's interesting -- but in my case, at least for now, I
only want a single implementation at a time. I now understand how the
impl is selected -- service.ranking if it exists, or a filter, or if
none specified, the oldest impl -- but I'm now trying to see how I can
change the service.ranking via configuration so I can change it at
runtime or based on runmode. I'd really like not to have to recompile
and redeploy to change the resolution order.
Thanks, this looks like the right direction: on each implementation
class, add@Property(name="service.ranking", intValue=)However, to change the order, I need to change code, rebuild
and redeploy. When I add the @Property on the class, I don't see this
the service.ranking property in the Felix console. is there any way to
see and edit that value in configuration, so I can simply change it in
the console, inactivate and reactivate the components or bundle, and
have the new value take effect, rath...
I'm trying to understand how dependency injection works in OSGi
(specifically Apache Felix as used in AEM). I have a servlet with an
`@Reference` annotation on a field that references an interface -- in my
case, it represents a secure document signing provider. I have an
implementation class that implements the interface, and it's
automatically injected into the servlet.In the servlet:
@Reference(cardinality = ReferenceCardinality.MANDATORY_UNARY) private
DocumentSigningProvider signingProvider;...
Thanks, I'll read through the upgrade portal. I hope the AEM 6.3 docs
get updated soon; the current docs are very confusing. Thanks for
running down this info for me!
Sorry, that didn't help at all. While the page you linked to says it's
about using Dynamic Media with Experience manager, the recorded session
in fact talks about Lazybones and Editable Templates. On top of that,
I'm not at all happy about watching videos to get product information;
I'd much rather read a document with diagrams and illustrations.
Assuming there's another recording that contains the discussion of
Dynamic media, is there also a transcript?Can you simply tell me the
difference betw...
I'm trying to understand image handling capabilities in AEM and the
documentation leaves me more confused than when I started.in the AEM 6.3
docs under Working with Assets there are sections for Adding Scene7
Features and Working with Dynamic Media. The docs indicate that if I
enable Scene7 I can't use Dynamic Media, and vice-versa. This implies
they are separate products, but the features seem to overlap to a large
degree.In the Dynamic Media docs regarding interactive images, there's a
pointer...
I posted this on StackOverflow at aem - How to emit the server path to
the current file using Sightly? - Stack Overflow and got a satisfactory
answer:Create a JavaScript file that asks Sling for the path to the
current file:component-path.js:use( function() { return { "path" :
sling.getScript().getScriptResource().getPath() };});Then reference this
where needed in the component markup:This results in an HTML comment like One thing to watch out for:
the path to the script is relative to the marku...
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I want a way to automatically
inject the path to the current file. I don't want to hard-code it; I
want a single snippet of code I can drop into each file that echoes the
current path. That way, if I move the file, the comment automatically
updates. I did this just the recently -- I refactored a component into
smaller fragments, and then a few days later I re-organized the
fragments into subfolders and renamed some of them for clarity. If I had
hard-coded co...
I have some components that I've broken into multiple smaller files. The
main file includes them using data-sly-include attributes.I'd like to
generate HTML comments containing the current filename in both the main
file and the included files, so that when I view the rendered output I
can easily tell which file generated the output. Something like:... some
HTML from the template or other components... This is from the main file This is fromt the first
include This is fromt the second
include ...
I have a problem similar to this one: Sightly in <script> tag not
evaluating? In that thread, the problem was that Sightly expressions
inside a script element were not being rendered, and the solution was to
add @ context = 'scriptString' to the expression.My situation is a
slightly different: Inside my HTML script element, I want to put a
Sightly element: <sly
data-sly-include="availabilitiesTemplate.html"></sly>But the
included file is not rendered to the output.I suspect this is also a
context problem, but I can't find any docs on setting the contex...
@PhilipBae heh, I was at Summit, and I had the opposite impression -- I
was afraid Search&Promote was on its way out, since I didn't hear it
mentioned once! I guess they're emphasizing the "Target" part of the
name. So far we're using it to good effect -- I hope it works out for
you.
@PhilipBae, I'll second @karthickky2k4's recommendation to look at Adobe
Search and Promote (SnP). We're using it on two sites. I'm not sure what
you mean by "search has to go through Publisher", but in our case load
on the Publish servers is low and controllable, because it's only hit
when indexing content, not when conducting the search or presenting
results.We're using SnP to search our product catalog, not (yet) for
full-text search of AEM pages. Catalog inventory can change throughout
the d...
Hi all, I'm Val. I'm a web architect at a real estate company in
Southern California. I've been doing web development since the mid-90s,
and have extensive experience with content management systems of various
sizes. We're new to AEM -- after a year-long project, we're about to
launch our first pair of websites on AEM 6.1. Looking forward to
learning from the experts here!
