Creating an Experience Manager 6.3 HTL Component that displays data from a SOAP Web Service

You can create an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.3 HTML Template Language (HTL) component that displays data retrieved from a third-party web service. An HTL component can dynamically display a different data set based upon the return value of SOAP web service. For example, assume you want to display cities located in a Country. Using a HTL component dialog, you can specify the Country, such as the United States, and the number of cities to return. A web service call is made from the Java part of the HTL component and the result set is displayed in the HTL component, as shown in the following illustration.

The Country and the number of cities to return are specified by the HTL component dialog, as shown here. 

This article shows you how to work with Sling Models and an AEM 6.3 HTL component to invoke a third-party SOAP based web service. To read this development article - click:

Creating a FavIcon for an Adobe Experience Manager 6.3 Site

You can create a Favicon for an Adobe Experience Manager site. A Favicon is typically an icon associated with a specific site and appears in the web browser tab. For more information, see  Favicon.

If a site does not have a Favicon, the tab in the browser does not display an image, as shown in this illustration.

In contrast, when a site has a Favicon, it appears in the browser tab, as shown here.

To add a Favicon to an Experience Manager site, there are several steps that you must perform. This article covers these steps.

Exporting Adobe Experience Manager Data Using Sling Model Exporters

You can create an Experience Manager Sling Model Experter to export Experience Manager data as JSON. You can invoke a Sling Model Exporter by using a HTTP Restful call and get back data. For example, assume that you want to get details of an image component located in the We Retail site located here:

http://localhost:4502/editor.html/content/we-retail/us/en/experience.html 

The following illustration shows the image component.

You can use a Sling Model Exporter to get component details that are returned within JSON, as shown in the following illustration.  

To invoke the Sling Model Exporter, you can use this URL:

http://localhost:4502/content/we-retail/us/en/experience/jcr:content/root/responsivegrid/heroimage.model.tidy.json

The data is retrieved from the AEM JCR located here:

/content/we-retail/us/en/experience/jcr:content/root/responsivegrid/heroimage

The following illustration shows this node.

You can create a Sling Model Exporter by using Java APIs located in the org.apache.sling.models.annotations package. To read this development article, click:      https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/aem63_sling_model_exporter.html.
