AEM Dispatcher Optimizer Tool

Analyze an AEM dispatcher module for violations of best practices, and report a list of actionable optimizations.

Goals

The dispatcher is a critical component of a secure, stable, and lightning fast AEM implementation. Unfortunately it is often an afterthought, and its large array of configurations can be overwhelming and easily misconfigured.

This repository offers a tool (implemented as both a Maven Plugin and standalone app) which performs static analysis of the dispatcher module of an AEM archetype based project. It can identify:

• Syntax issues such as misplaced tokens, unmatched quotes, or missing files referenced from Include directives
• Violations of best practices including checks for /filter deny rules, /statfileslevel, /gracePeriod and more

Don't agree with one of the rules? Wish there was a check for /propertyX? Use the extensible rules engine to augment (or completely replace) the core set of rules to meet your exact needs.

Non-Goals

This repository does not attempt to suggest or prescribe a one-size-fits-all configuration for the dispatcher. Due to the myriad use cases that AEM supports, it would be impossible to do so. Instead, we attempt to identify syntax issues and known violations of best practices that can, when corrected, make your AEM environment more resilient and performant.

Modules

• core - Core code shared between the Plugin and App
• app - Spring Boot app implementation and Dockerfile
• plugin - Maven plugin implementation
• plugin-it - Maven plugin integration tests

Build

mvn clean install

Use the Maven plugin

Refer to the Plugin README.

Use the standalone app
