A Synonym filter can help to map different terms that have the same meaning, such as “cat” and “feline”. A LowerCase filter can help to normalize the case of the terms, so that “cats and dogs” and “Cats and Dogs” are treated the same.

To push a code fix into the current release candidate, the best practice is to cherry-pick the fix commit into the release candidate branch. Cherry-picking allows you to apply specific changes from one branch to another, ensuring that only the necessary fixes are included without introducing unrelated changes.

Here’s how to cherry-pick a commit:

Identify the Commit: Locate the commit hash of the fix you need to apply. This can be found in your version control system (e.g., Git).

Checkout the Release Candidate Branch:

git checkout release-candidate-branch

Cherry-pick the Commit:

git cherry-pick

Resolve Conflicts(if any): If there are conflicts, resolve them manually and then continue the cherry-pick process:

git add

git cherry-pick --continue

 Test the Changes: Ensure that the changes are tested thoroughly in the release candidate environment to confirm the fix works as expected.

 Push the Changes:

git push origin release-candidate-branch

Cherry-picking ensures that only the required changes are applied to the release candidate, maintaining the stability and integrity of the codebase.

When installing a package in AEM and you want to ensure that existing content in the repository is not overwritten while ensuring that content not present in the repository is not removed, you should use the update import mode.

The update import mode performs the following actions:

It updates existing content nodes in the repository with the nodes from the package being installed.

It does not remove any existing nodes or properties in the repository that are not present in the package.

It adds any new nodes or properties from the package to the repository.

This mode is particularly useful when you want to preserve any manual changes or additions that might have been made to the repository content outside of the package installations.

Here’s how you can specify the import mode during package installation:

Access Package Manager: Log into your AEM instance and navigate to the CRX Package Manager (e.g., http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/index.jsp).

Upload the Package: If the package is not already uploaded, click on "Upload Package" and select the package file from your local system.

Install the Package: Click on "Install" for the package you wish to install.

Choose the Import Mode: During the installation process, you will have the option to choose the import mode. Select update from the available options.

AEM Package Manager - Import Mode

Complete Installation: Proceed with the installation. The content will be updated according to the rules defined by the update import mode.

By using the update mode, you ensure that your repository content is updated without losing any existing nodes or properties that are not part of the package.

These steps ensure that you manage content updates in a controlled manner, preserving existing repository content while incorporating updates from the installed package.

The order of resolution for OSGi configurations at runtime in AEM is as follows:

Web Console Configuration:

Changes made through the OSGi Web Console take immediate effect and have the highest precedence. This is because these configurations are considered the most direct way to adjust OSGi settings at runtime.

References:OSGi Configuration in AEM

/apps Configuration:

Configurations in the /apps directory take precedence over those in the /libs directory. This allows custom configurations to override the default configurations provided by AEM.

References:AEM Project Structure

/libs Configuration:

Configurations in the /libs directory are the default configurations provided by AEM. They are overridden by any configurations in the /apps directory.

References:AEM Configuration

By understanding this order, developers can effectively manage and prioritize their OSGi configurations to ensure the desired behavior of their AEM instances.

In AEM as a Cloud Service environment, the repository areas /apps and /libs are considered as immutable, meaning that they cannot be modified at runtime by any means. These areas contain application code and configuration that are deployed via Cloud Manager and are read-only for security and performance reasons. Any changes to these areas require a new deployment via Cloud Manager.

To implement a new component called "Page Headline" which takes the text from the current page title instead of jcr:title, you should create a proxy component from the core title component and implement a Sling Model accordingly. Option C demonstrates the correct approach to achieve this functionality.

Here is a detailed explanation of Option C:

Create Proxy Component:

Create a new component in your project that will act as a proxy to the core title component. This involves creating a new component node in the repository that inherits from the core title component.

Example path: /apps/myproject/components/pageHeadline with sling:resourceSuperType set to core/wcm/components/title/v2/title.

Implement Sling Model:

Implement a Sling Model that adapts from SlingHttpServletRequest and Title.class, ensuring it overrides the text fetching logic to retrieve the title from the current page's title.

The model will use @ScriptVariable to inject the current page and @Self to access the core title component's logic.

@Model(adaptables = SlingHttpServletRequest.class, adapters = Title.class, resourceType = "myproject/components/pageHeadline")

public class PageHeadline implements Title {

@ScriptVariable

private Page currentPage;

@Self @Via(type = ResourceSuperType.class)

private Title title;

@Override

public String getText() {

return currentPage.getTitle();

}

@Override

public String getType() {

return title.getType();

}

}

@Model Annotation: Specifies that this class is a Sling Model and adapts from SlingHttpServletRequest. It is also an adapter for Title.class and applies to the myproject/components/pageHeadline resource type.

@ScriptVariable: Injects the current Page object, which allows access to the current page's properties.

@Self @Via(type = ResourceSuperType.class): Injects the core title component, allowing the reuse of existing logic.

getText() Method: Overrides the getText() method to return the title from the current page instead of the jcr:title.

getType() Method: Delegates to the core title component's getType() method to maintain existing functionality.

This approach leverages the power of Sling Models and the core components to extend functionality while keeping the implementation clean and maintainable.

The Apache Sling Logging Logger Configuration and Apache Sling Logging Writer Configuration are the OSGi configurations that the developer should use to create a Logger and Writer pair for the company’s application logging. The Logger Configuration defines the log level and the log file name for a given logger name or category. The Writer Configuration defines the file size, number of files, and file location for a given log file name.
