AEM (Adobe Experience Manager)

Connector that indexes content from Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) into Viglet Dumont DEP, with support for custom extensions for content processing and incremental (delta) indexing.

Prerequisites

• Java 21+
• Maven 3.6+
• Apache Ant
• Adobe Experience Manager 6.5+
• Viglet Dumont server running

Installation

Go to https://viglet.org/dumont/download/ and click on "Integration > AEM Connector" link to download the connector.

To create a custom AEM plugin project, use the Maven archetype:

mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate \
  -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem \
  -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype \
  -D archetypeVersion=44 \
  -D appTitle="Dumont AEM Service" \
  -D appId=aem-dumont-events \
  -D groupId=com.viglet.dumont \
  -D aemVersion=6.5.0

Quick Start

Automated build:

compile-and-run.cmd

This will clean, compile, package the plugin, and launch the connector.

Manual build:

./mvnw clean install package
ant wknd
cd dist/wknd
run.cmd

Configuration

Set environment variables for the Dumont server connection (e.g., in scripts/wknd/env.cmd):

TURING_URL=http://localhost:2700
TURING_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

The AEM source configuration is defined in a JSON file (e.g., wknd.json) with the following settings:

Setting	Description
AEM Endpoint	AEM server URL (e.g., http://localhost:4502)
Root Path	Content root path (e.g., /content/wknd)
Content Type	AEM content type (e.g., cq:Page)
Credentials	AEM author/publish authentication
Site Mappings	Author and publish site mappings
Locale	Locale settings for indexing

Custom Extensions

You can create custom extensions by implementing the following interfaces:

• DumAemExtContentInterface — Custom content processing logic.
• DumAemExtDeltaDateInterface — Delta date processing for incremental indexing.

Register your custom classes in the configuration JSON file.

Sample Extensions

The AEM Plugin Sample provides working examples:

• DumAemExtSampleDeltaDate — Handles delta date processing for incremental indexing.
• DumAemExtSampleModelJson — Processes AEM content fragments and model JSON data.

Module Structure

The AEM connector is composed of three modules:

Module	Description
aem-plugin	Core AEM plugin with extension interfaces
aem-server	Server component for running the connector
aem-plugin-sample	Sample plugin with WKND site integration
