I have included a component on a template so its on every page by default. But am unable to open the component's dialog box in touch UI (AEM 6.2).

The browser is throwing 500 error for the below path :

http://localhost:4502/mnt/override/apps/test/components/content/global/menu/_cq_dialog.html/content/myproject/jcr:content/hidden/header/menu?resourceType=myproject%2Fcomponents%2Fcontent%2Fglobal%2Fmenu&_=1501049534997

Any Idea how to handle this?

Hi Afrem

You can add a path property dynamically. I have implemented something similar for one of my project . Please find below the syntax. You have to first assign that to a variable

In the below code, I am trying to create parsys in loop and so I have to give different path properties.

Here is the explanation for @format

Hope this helps

Many Thanks Veena and Scott .

The solution provided works for page level components.

My component is a global component and its configuration is same across all the pages. For that I am using the below syntax

<sly data-sly-resource="${@ path='/content/myproject/hidden',resourceType='myproject/components/content/global/menu'}"></sly>

This way my component configuration gets stored in the node - '/content/myproject/hidden' and is available across all the pages.

This works fine in classic UI.

But in case of touch UI, the dialog is not opening and I can see 500 error (in browser console) for the following URL

http://localhost:4502/mnt/override/apps/myproject/components/content/global/menu/_cq_dialog.html/content/myproject/hidden?resourceType=myproject%2Fcomponents%2Fcontent%2Fglobal%2Fmenu&_=1501220247708

I am getting a NullPointerException while navigating through this URL.

Cannot serve request to /mnt/override/apps/myproject/components/content/global/menu/_cq_dialog.html/content/myproject/hidden in /libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/dialog.jsp

Exception:
