Only a type can be imported. xxxxxx resolves to a package - AEM/Adobe CQ5

Only a type can be imported. xxxxxx resolves to a package - AEM/Adobe CQ5

We were receiving the following error in run time due to this the pages got broken. The same scenario was working fine earlier and broken without any code or config change to the server.

We have tried multiple options as follows without any luck
  • Re-deploying the code to affected server
  • Restarting the server
  • Removing run time class files - /var/classes/org/apache
  • Recompile/Clear the JSP classes - http://www.albinsblog.com/2016/04/how-to-clearrecompile-jsp-classes-in-AEM-6.1.html
We could not able to identify the root cause but as a work around manually added a space to the component and saved through CRXDE and that helped to fix the issue.


How to disable the online compaction - AEM/Adobe CQ5

How to disable the online compaction - AEM/Adobe CQ5

Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.1 will have daily job scheduled and that will perform the online compaction.

Some times this may cause performance issue when the online compaction takes more time to complete due to load or authoring.

As a solution the online compaction job can be disabled and offline compaction can be used whenever required based on the maintenance window.

Steps to disable online compaction:

  •  Go to CRXDE path - /libs/granite/operations/config/maintenance/granite:daily/granite:RevisionGC
  • Changed run mode from crx3 to crx3-disabled
  • Save
