Question 1 Domain 3OSGi Services

A snippet throws an exception at runtime:

@Model(adaptables = {Resource.class}) public class MyCustomModel {

(SSIingObject

private Resource resource;

What should the developer add to fix it?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation

The developer should add the defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy property to the @Model Class annotation to fix the snippet. The defaultInjectionStrategy property defines how the Sling Model handles missing or null values for the injected fields. By default, the Sling Model uses the REQUIRED injection strategy, which means that all fields must have a non-null value or else an exception is thrown. By setting the defaultInjectionStrategy property to OPTIONAL, the Sling Model allows null values for the injected fields and does not throw an exception. This way, if the page field is null because the resource is not a page, the Sling Model can still work without errors.

Question 2 Domain 1Installation and Configuration of AEM

Which option should be used to synchronize user data across publish servers in a publish farm?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation

Sling Content Distribution is a feature that allows synchronizing user data across publish servers in a publish farm. Sling Content Distribution uses agents to distribute content from one instance to another using a publish-publish topology. Sling Content Distribution can be configured to synchronize user data under /home/users and /home/groups paths, as well as their ACLs.

Question 3 Domain 1Installation and Configuration of AEM

Which property under /cache on dispatcher.any file identifies the directory where cached files are stored?

Correct Answer: D
Explanation

The /cacheroot property under /cache in the dispatcher.any file identifies the directory where cached files are stored. It is a relative or absolute path to the cache root directory. The dispatcher creates a subdirectory for each virtual host under this directory and stores the cached files there. Reference: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-configuration.html?lang=en#cache

Question 4 Domain 2Templates and Components

What is the recommended path to override /libs standard functionality?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation

The recommended path to override /libs standard functionality is /apps. The /apps folder contains application-specific code and configuration that can extend or override the default functionality provided by /libs. The /apps folder has precedence over the /libs folder, meaning that if there are two resources with the same path under both folders, the one under /apps will be used.

Question 5 Domain 1Installation and Configuration of AEM

Which tool should a developer use to look up Adobe Identity Management System (IMS) users by email and return their IMS IDs?

Correct Answer: C
Explanation

The correct tool to use for looking up Adobe Identity Management System (IMS) users by email and returning their IMS IDs is the IMS Lookup Tool. This tool is specifically designed to interact with the Adobe Identity Management System (IMS) and provides functionality to search for user details using various criteria such as email addresses.

Steps to use the IMS Lookup Tool:

Access the IMS Lookup Tool: Navigate to the IMS Lookup Tool interface. This tool is typically available through the Adobe Admin Console or as a part of Adobe's suite of administrative tools.

Authenticate: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to use the tool. Authentication may be required, often through your Adobe ID and associated admin privileges.

Search by Email: Enter the email address of the user you want to look up in the search field.

Retrieve IMS ID: The tool will return the IMS ID associated with the provided email address.

This tool is essential for managing user identities and integrating with various Adobe services that rely on IMS for authentication and authorization.
