Question 1 Domain 2AEM Development

A developer has created a new Sling Model called Flarp. The developer wants to create a unit test for this Sling Model.

What needs to be changed for the unit test to successfully test the getName method of the Flarp Sling Model?

AReplace AemContext with SlingContext with ResourceResolverType of JCR_OAK.

BAdd an @Rule annotation before the line private final AemContext ctx = new AemContext();

CAdd a ctx.load().json() method call to get the node data.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation Unit testing Sling Models requires SlingContext instead of AemContext because Sling Models need a proper resource resolver to function. SlingContext with ResourceResolverType.JCR_OAK provides the necessary JCR environment and resource resolver that Sling Models depend on. AemContext is higher level and includes AEM-specific features that aren't needed for testing the Sling Model's core logic. The correct setup ensures the getName method can properly access resolved resources during the test.

Question 2 Domain 2AEM Development

Given the following error:

[ERROR] org.acme:mybundle:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Bundle org.acme:mybundle:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT is exporting package

org.acme.foo without a version.

What are the appropriate troubleshooting steps for addressing this error?

ACheck if all the dependency declarations made in the OSGi bundle are satisfied by the capabilities declarations in other bundles included in the Maven project.

BCheck if the customer OSGi bundles don't have the Export-Package declarations that override AEM as a Cloud Service's bundle dependencies.

CCheck if the OSGi bundles specify a version with an Export-Package declaration and a version range with an Import-Package declaration.

DCheck if all the OSGi bundles have their Import-Package declarations satisfied by the Export-Package declaration of other included bundles in the Maven project.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation This bundle export error occurs when packages are exposed without version information, which creates ambiguity for imports. The solution is to check that Export-Package declarations specify versions for exported packages and that Import-Package declarations define version ranges for consumed packages. This prevents version conflicts and ensures the OSGi container can correctly wire bundles together. Without proper version specifications, the container cannot determine which bundle versions should satisfy which imports.

Question 3 Domain 1Configurations

A developer needs to use the mode in Template Editor which allows template authors to define grid settings for different devices.

Which mode should the developer use?

ALayout

BStructure

CPage Policy

Correct Answer: A

Explanation The Layout mode in AEM's Template Editor allows template authors to configure responsive grid settings for different device breakpoints and screen sizes. This mode is specifically designed to let authors define how the grid behaves across tablets, phones, and desktops. Other template editor modes handle different concerns like structure or initial content, but only Layout mode provides the device-specific grid configuration functionality needed for responsive designs.

Question 4 Domain 1Configurations

A university wants to roll out content updates to all the schools affiliated with it. The individual schools have configured their respective homepages with a space allocated to display updated university information. The rest of the homepage is dedicated to school-specific information.

What is the recommended approach to roll out university updates on all the schools' homepages?

ARoll out of Experience Fragment

BMark the 'Partial' option on the roll out screen

CRestore inheritance for certain components on the school homepage

DImplement custom logic for page roll out action

Correct Answer: B

Explanation When rolling out content to multiple sites that have both shared and site-specific sections, the Partial option allows you to push updates only to designated areas across all instances. This approach preserves the school-specific content on each homepage while updating the university information section consistently. Using a full rollout would overwrite everything including local content, making partial rollout the correct method for managing distributed updates across related but independent sites.

Question 5 Domain 3Build and Deployment

A customer added a custom property "foo:bar" to all assets. Once the property is added, the customer needs to run the following query:

select * from [dam:Asset] where isdescendantnode('/content') and [foo:bar] ="Hello"

How would the customer update the indexes to make sure the query is not a traversal query?

AAdd 'foo:bar' as a child node of oak:index/damAssetLucene/indexRules/dam:Asset/properties.

BAdd 'foo:bar' as a child node of oak:index/lucene/indexRules/dam:Asset/properties.

CAdd 'Hello' as a child node of oak:index/ntBaseLucene/indexRules/dam:Asset/properties.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation To prevent traversal queries in Oak, custom properties must be indexed. Adding the custom property 'foo:bar' as a child node under oak:index/damAssetLucene/indexRules/dam:Asset/properties registers it in the existing asset index. This allows the query engine to use the index instead of scanning all nodes. Without indexing the property, the database must traverse the entire content tree to evaluate the where condition, which is inefficient for large repositories.
