Proxy Content

This servlet show cases a way to use the Java HTTP Servlet library to forward requests to internal resources within the repository.

How to build

mvn clean install

How to install

1. Build the bundle
2. Go to /system/console/bundles
3. Install > Provide Bundle > Check Start Bundle > Install or Update

Mechanics of the solution

The ProxyServlet retrieves the resource that was requested and gets the property proxyPath and then uses the RequestDispatcher to forward the request to another resource.

This in turn allows for the resource that is being rendered to be rendered using the correct scripts.

Example proxy with Local Content

1. Install wknd project
2. Create a node /apps(sling:Folder)/wknd-site(nt:folder)
3. Copy /content/wknd/language-masters/en/magazine to /apps/wknd-site
4. Create a node called /content(sling:OrderedFolder)/proxies(sling:Folder)/magazine(nt:unstructured)
5. Set the following properties on the magazine node
   • proxyPath=/apps/wknd-site/magazine
   • sling:resourceType=aem/support/proxy
6. Make a GET request to /content/proxies/magazine.html the rendered page will be the one copied to /apps/wknd-site/magazine

Example proxy with Remote Content with ProxyPath

1. Create a node /content(sling:Orderedfolder)/licenses(nt:unstructured)/eula(nt:unstructured)
2. Set the following properties under the eula node - isExternal={Boolean}true - proxyPath=https://www.fornav.com/documents/EULA.pdf - sling:resourceType=aem/support/proxy
3. Upload an asset to the dam
4. Put a node property the metadata node with the following value xmpRights:WebStatement=/content/licenses/eula.html (see https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-brand-portal/using/download/manage-digital-rights-of-assets)
5. Go download the asset you uploaded in step 3 and you will be presented with https://www.fornav.com/documents/EULA.pdf

Example proxy with Remote Content with Query Param

3. Upload an asset to the dam
