Creating an AEM HTL component that queries the JCR

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) HTL (used to be known as Sightly) component that queries data located in the AEM Java Content Repository (JCR). To query data, you use an HTL Java class that extends the WCMUsePojo API and the javax.jcr.query.Query instance that belongs to the JCR Query API. This API supports both searching and querying operations. For example, assume that your AEM application tracks your organization’s customers. You can develop an AEM HTL component that is able to query the JCR to obtain a customer result set in which a digital marketer is interested.



Assume that you have customer data in the AEM JCR. 



Using an HTL component that extends WCMUsePojo, you can retrieve the JCR data and display it.



This development walks you through how to create an AEM HTL component that queries a result set from the JCR. To read this development article, click https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/htl_jcr.html.
