Upgrading AEM/Adobe CQ5 version 5.6.1 to AEM/Adobe CQ5 version  6.1

java.lang.RuntimeException: ConfigurationManagerImpl disabled : Adobe CQ5/Adobe AEM 6.1

We are receiving the the following exception after upgrading Adobe CQ5/Adobe AEM 5.6.1 to Adobe CQ5/Adobe AEM 6.1.

org.apache.sling.engine.impl.SlingRequestProcessorImpl service: Uncaught SlingException - java.lang.RuntimeException: ConfigurationManagerImpl disabled

Because of this the components are not able fetch the configuration details and failed to render.

The root cause of the issue is ConfigurationManagerImpl OSGI component is not enabled(default it will be disabled for security).

The issue got resolved after enabling the same.

The following steps can be followed to enable ConfigurationManagerImpl.

Login to system console - http://localhost:4502/system/console/components
Search for ConfigurationManagerImpl



Click on configure
Select Enabled and Save the configuration.

BEA-382510:javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Content is not allowed in prolog.

We were getting the below exception(BEA-382510) intermittently in OSB assign activity in run time.

OSB Assign action failed updating variable "var1": javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Content is not allowed in prolog.


This is the known issue in SOA Suite 11.1.1.5.0 version and fixed from 11.1.1.6.0.

The issue got fixed in 11.1.1.5.0 version after installing the patch 10086559.

Internationalization i18n labels are not displaying: Adobe CQ5/Adobe AEM.

We were facing the issue with displaying  the ii18 labels in Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) pages, the key is getting displayed instead of the message.

<fmt:message key="login"/>

The key "login" is displayed as label instead of the message "Login".

The root cause of the issue is, the bundle "Apache Sling Internationalization Support (org.apache.sling.i18n)" is in resolved state.

The issue got resolved after restarting the "Apache Sling Internationalization Support (org.apache.sling.i18n)" bundle.

Enabling basic authentication for specific website in dispatcher : Adobe CQ5/Adobe AEM

Create a file dispatcher.htaccess in dispatcher.
Create the required users by using the following commands.

htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess user1

Add the following configurations to the httpd.conf, change the site URL and AuthUserFile accordingly:

# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/en* auth=1
AuthName "Please login to access english part"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auth

This will enable the the basic authentication for the website path starts with /content/en

If the site is enabled for https then add the following content to the ssl.conf file

<Location />
# unsets authorization header when sending request to AEM
RequestHeader unset Authorization
SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/content/en* auths=1
AuthName "Please login to access english part"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/dispatcher.htaccess
# first, allow everybody
Order Allow,Deny
Satisfy any
Allow from all
Require valid-user
# then, deny only if required
Deny from env=auths

Adobe CQ/Adobe AEM: Configuration Services for Multiple Sites through configurationFactory

Sometimes, we have to define configuration services that will differ only with configuration values. For e.g we will have different sites that will use the same configuration service but with different configuration values specific to sites.

In this scenario, we have to create a site specific configuration service for all the sites (multiple services) but OSGI provides the concept of ServiceFactories, the service factory can be used to create configuration services with same set of properties and different values.

As an example let’s assume, we have two different sites that will use the same configuration service but require site specific configuration values. The configurationFactory can be used to create configuration service for different sites.

Suppressing the Selection Failure exception in Assign activity – Oracle SOA Suite

This post will explain how to suppress the Selection Failure exception BPEL Assign activity – Oracle SOA Suite
In BPEL Assign activity if the xpath returns empty result then SelectionFailure RuntimeFault will be thrown by the engine.

But some cases we may need to suppress the selectionFailure error while assigning the optional elements.

In my case I have a assign activity that will mapthe elements  input and input1 from inputVariable to result and result1 of outputVariable.

Don't support MessageVariable in fromPart -  Oracle SOA Suite:

This error will be thrown while invoking the service with Multipart Message type and the receive activity uses the fromPart to retrieve the parts data and assign to a variables created based on message type or invoke activity uses toPart to assign the data to parts based message type variable.


To resolve this whenever retrieving or assigning values to parts in receive/invoke activity through fromPart or toPart use the element based variables instead using the message type based variable.

window.location.href is not working while clicking on hyper link  in IE

I was trying to redirect to a page while clicking on a hyper link with JQuery Ajax and java script windows.location.href

<a id="signout" href="">signOut<a/>

<script>
    $("#signout").click(function(){

                       $.ajax({
                        type : "POST",
                        async: false,
                        url : "/services/logout",                    
                        success : function() {
                                       window.location="/content/test/test.html";
 },
error : function() {
                                       window.location="/content/test/test.html";
}
});
    } );
</script>

This is working perfectly in both Firefox and Chrome but it is not working in IE.

In IE while redirecting the URL is stripped off to /content/test/(test.html got removed while performing the redirect)

The issue can be fixed as below by adding # in href attribute.

<a id="signout" href="#">signOut<a/>
