ATG Search - how to configure multiple language search

Here I am going to explain the steps involved in configuring the multi-language ATG Search if your site support multiple language. I have given the different steps in indexing and search flows.

Indexing flow :
  1. You could configure different search projects for different locales to support parallel search indexing for each locale.
  2. You could setup search environment for the search projects so that the indexing host is different for the two projects.
  3. Configure the LocaleVariantProducer @ ProductCatalogOutputConfig to specify the locale for the new language.
  4. Include the language dictionaries you need in Search Admin on the Search Projects which can be used for indexing and searching in multiple languages.
  5. Specify the locales @ \atg\search\config\LanguageDimensionService so that you could configure the search configurations for each language.
  6. When you create the search configuration tree, specify the "Contents vary by" as Language, to configure the search configurations like search redirection, result exclusion,... for each language.
  7. You need to configure the facet values as locale specific.
Search flow : 
  1. Search Formhandlers must ensure that the correct language is specified in the query requests, that it submits to Search Routing.
  2. The language input to the search engine is set in the search request from the OOB ParserOptionsXMLBuilder class. It gets the locale from the /atg/dynamo/servlet/RequestLocale and gets the language associated with the locale. The RequestLocale component is a session-scoped component that attaches locale information to the requests of the session. 
  3. In eStore (commerce) FormHandlers/Droplets set the corresponding siteName based on the current locale in /atg/dynamo/servlet/RequestLocale.
  4. You need to configure the Facet Labels specific to the locales.

ATG - quick reference to commonly used DSP Tags

In this blog, I would like to give a quick reference to the most commonly used DSP Tags.Note that in this DSP tag details : bean refers to a Nucleus path, component name, and property name param refers to a Page parameter value refers to a Static-value var refers to a EL variable id refers to a scripting variable ============================================================== 1.dsp:importbean     example: <dsp:importbean bean="/atg/dynamo/droplet/Switch"/> ============================================================== 2.dsp:page     usage: It encloses a JSP. The dsp:page invokes the JSP handler, which calls the servlet pipeline and generates HTTPServletRequest.    example:    <dsp:page> ..... </dsp:page> ============================================================== 3.dsp:include     usage: Embeds a page fragment in a JSP.     example:   <dsp:include src="/myPage/Result...

ATG - more about Forms and Form Handlers

An ATG form is defined by the dsp:form tag, which typically encloses DSP tags that specify form elements, such as dsp:input that provide direct access to Nucleus component properties. Find below a sample dsp:form tag.    <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top">      <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/>      <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/>      <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/>    </dsp:form>   When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags. If an input tag omits the n...

Is your e-Banking is secure with the extensions/add-ons ?

If your browser is having a large number of extensions/add-ons, how can you ensure a secure e-banking ? Chrome incognito window or IE / Mozilla private browsing is the best option you have, to do the e-banking. Google Chrome does not control how extensions handle your personal data. But all the extensions have been disabled for incognito windows. (You can reenable them individually in the extensions manager ). The simplest way to start Chrome in Incognito @ Windows 7 is to right-click on its taskbar icon . Also think about the other uses of Chromey incognito, just like to use it for Guest account log-ins ...
