502 Bad Gateway while accessing /libs/cq/security/userinfo.json via telnet after upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1

502 Bad Gateway while accessing /libs/cq/security/userinfo.json via telnet after upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1

We were using /libs/cq/security/userinfo.json url in BIG-IP via telnet to check the staus of the server(heartbeat check of Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) servers) to control the availablity of servers in BIG-IP.

This is working fine in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 5.6.1 but it stopped working after upgrading AEM to 6.1(the server status is down in BIG-IP even though the server is up).

The same URL is working fine using wget,curl command and also from browsers, only not working via telnet(This issue is only via dispatcher but it is working fine directly with publisher)

Trying 10.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to 10.xxx.xxx.xxx.

The actual root cause of the issue is the dispatcher module is not upgared as per the requirement.

The issue got resolved after upgrading the dispatcher module to latest version 4.1.10.

org.apache.sling.commons.json.JSONException: Misplaced array - JSONWriter

org.apache.sling.commons.json.JSONException: Misplaced array - JSONWriter

The Misplaced array exception is thrown,While we are trying to create the JSON Array of objects from the servlet using - org.apache.sling.commons.json.io.JSONWriter.

Code:-

JSONWriter writer=new JSONWriter(response.getWriter());
try {
writer.object();
writer.key("authorName").value("test");
writer.key("biography").value("test");
writer.key("image").value("test");
writer.array();
writer.object();
writer.key("authorName").value("test");
writer.key("biography").value("test");
writer.endObject();
writer.endArray();
writer.endObject();
} catch (JSONException e) {

}

The root cause of the exception is not providing the key for initialized array(there will be different scenarios we will receive this exception)

To fix the issue as shown below in the code, add the key before starting the array.

JSONWriter writer=new JSONWriter(response.getWriter());
try {
writer.object();
writer.key("authorName").value("test");
writer.key("biography").value("test");
writer.key("image").value("test");
writer.key("list");
writer.array();
writer.object();
writer.key("authorName").value("test");
writer.key("biography").value("test");
writer.endObject();
writer.endArray();
writer.endObject();
} catch (JSONException e) {

}  

O/P

{"authorName":"test","biography":"test","image":"test","list":[{"authorName":"test","biography":"test"}]}

The actual root cause of the issue is the workflow super user group configured in /apps/system/config/com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.WorkflowSessionFactory.config is not available in the system.     

cq.workflow.superuser=["admin","administrators","workflow-superuser"]
cq.workflow.workspace="crx.default"
adapter.condition="If\\\ the\\\ ResourceResolver\\\ is\\\ a\\\ JcrResourceResolver\\\ or\\\ a\\\ Session."
cq.workflow.models="/etc/workflow/models"
cq.workflow.instances="/etc/workflow/instances"
cq.workflow.job.retry=I"3"
granite.workflow.inboxQuerySize=I"2000"


The issue got resolved after creating the user group(workflow-superuser) in the system with the required workflow permissions.

Taxonomy/Tag issue after upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1

Taxonomy/Tag issue after upgrading to Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1

Taxonomy/Tags are used for search purpose. These tags are used by external search tool to provide the details.

Issue being discussed here is about the Meta tags not being displayed.


This issue is expected to be seen after upgrading the environment to Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1 version and the root cause is due to change in the user permission.

To resolve this issue provide the required permissions, go to Useradmin. Give permission (Read, Modify, Create, Delete, and Replicate) to /etc/tags folder for the group everyone.

Only Read access is sufficient for publisher instance.

a:ActionNotSupported: The message with Action '"' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher.

a:ActionNotSupported: The message with Action '"' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher.

Getting the below error while invoking the SOAP service via WebServiceTemplate.

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<s:Fault>
<faultcode xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/addressing/none">a:ActionNotSupported</faultcode>
<faultstring xml:lang="en-US">The message with Action '"' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver.  Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).</faultstring>
</s:Fault>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

The root cause of the issue is the SOAPAction is not set in the request header while invoking the service.

To fix the issue set the SOAPAction specified in the WSDL binding while invoking the service.

  <binding name="binding" type="service">
    <binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
    <operation name="process">
      <operation soapAction="process" style="document"/>
      <input>
        <body namespace="request" use="literal"/>
      </input>
      <output>
        <body namespace="response" use="literal"/>
      </output>
    </operation>
  </binding>

webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(url,request, new WebServiceMessageCallback() {

    public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) {
        ((SoapMessage)message).setSoapAction("process");
    }
});
