Assets and Links in AEM Projects

Every AEM project needs to handle assets and links in a robust and consistent way. Although this sounds trivial for a CMS several challenges in non-trivial AEM projects need to be mastered. We will focus on technical aspects required by lots of AEM components, e.g. validating asset references, resolving renditions, generating renditions on the fly, detecting site roots, rewriting and validating links and URL externalization.

This talk gives an overview of the built-in features provided by AEM and the Core Components, and introduces the URL, media and link handling features of the wcm.io project.
