Populating AEM Component Dialog fields using Sling Servlets

You can invoke an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sling Servlet to populate fields that appear in AEM component dialogs. That is, instead of hard-coding values in JavaScript, you can populate the a dialog drop-down using a Servlet's return value, as shown in the following illustration.

 .

In this example, the movie titles that appear in the drop-down control are returned by an AEM Sling Servlet. This article walks you through how to create an AEM component that uses Sling Servlets to populate fields that appear in component dialogs. By hooking into a Sling Servlet, you can dynamically populate dialog fields. For example, you can code the Servlet to call an external web service, and populate a dialog field with the data returned by the external service.

Integrating Adobe Experience Manager 6.1 Components with Adobe Analytics

You can create Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.1 components that integrate with Adobe Analytics. By integrating AEM components with Adobe Analytics, you can gather information about user interaction with the AEM components, such as tracking how visitors are interacting with your components. For example, assume you developed an AEM component to track the number vistors use the component. When a user interacts with the component (for example, clicks a link), the component sends information to Adobe Analytics. Next, Adobe Analytics updates a  real-time report that you can view, such as shown in the following illustration.


As shown in the previous illustration, you can view component information (components integrated with Adobe Analytics) in an Adobe Analytic s report. This development article walks you though all the steps to integrate AEM 6.1 components with Adobe Analytics, incluiding how to set AEM and Analytics. To read this development article, click https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/analytics.html.
