AD0-E134 - Adobe Experience Manager Developer Exam

The /enableTTL “1” configuration must be applied to enable re-fetching of cached items based on Cache Headers sent by AEM. This configuration enables the Time To Live (TTL) feature of dispatcher, which allows dispatcher to check the Cache-Control and Expires headers of the cached files and re-fetch them from AEM if they are expired.

An AEM Developer should add a front-end dependency in the package.json file. The package.json file is a standard configuration file for managing dependencies in JavaScript projects, including those using npm or Yarn as package managers.

Here’s how to add a front-end dependency:

Open the package.json File: This file is typically located at the root of your project.

Add the Dependency: Add the required front-end dependency under the dependencies or devDependencies section. For example, to add lodash as a dependency:

{

"name": "my-aem-project",

"version": "1.0.0",

"dependencies": {

"lodash": "^4.17.21"

}

}

Install the Dependency: Run the following command to install the new dependency:

npm install

Verify Installation: Ensure that the dependency has been added to the node_modules directory and is listed in the package-lock.json file.

The package.json file is the central place to manage all front-end dependencies, making it easy to track, update, and share dependencies across the development team.

Managing Dependencies in AEM Projects

These steps ensure that the front-end dependencies are managed efficiently and consistently within the AEM project.

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.

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.
