JVM: Java Heap & Stack

By
When does Heap gets created?
 Heap gets create on the startup of JVM. 
What is Heap structure (young space/nursery and old space) 
When an object created it is first stored and placed on young space or nursery and if it lives there for longer time it is moved to old space. The design goal behind young space and old space is that newly created objects are short lived and since they are placed on young space their access is faster. 
How memory is allocated to Objects? 
While assigning memory on Heap, Objects are first identified whether they are small or large? Small objects are allocated in Thread Local Areas (TLA). TLA are free chunk of space reserved from Heap and is given to thread for exclusive use. Thread can then allocate objects in its TLA without synchronizing with other threads. When the TLA becomes full, the thread simply requests a new TLA. The TLAs are reserved from the nursery if such exists; otherwise they are reserved anywhere in the heap. Large objects that don’t fit inside a TLA are allocated directly on the heap. 
What are Shallow and retained sizes? 
Shallow size of an object is the amount of memory allocated to store the object itself, not taking into account the referenced objects. Shallow size of a regular (non-array) object depends on the number and types of its fields. Shallow size of an array depends on the array length and the type of its elements (objects, primitive types). Shallow size of a set of objects represents the sum of shallow sizes of all objects in the set. 
Retained size of an object is its shallow size plus the shallow sizes of the objects that are accessible, directly or indirectly, only from this object. In other words, the retained size represents the amount of memory that will be freed by the garbage collector when this object is collected. 
What is allocated on stack and heap? 
'Local variables' like function arguments or variables inside a function are only 'allocated' on the stack (primitive value or reference). Object Instance and static variables are stored on the heap.

AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) – Architecture Overview

AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) – Architecture Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is one of the leading CMS from Adobe and is part of Adobe Experience Cloud (AEC). The Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) web content management offers a set of capabilities for creating, managing, delivering, and personalizing content across various digital marketing channels, including web, mobile, and email.  Before we dive into architecture of AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) we need to understand why AEMaaCS is needed and how it is different as compared to classic AEM. To understand this, we’ll first look at: Evolution/history of AEM Challenges with traditional/classic AEM (the AEM that majority of us have used from last 10-12 years) Evolution/History of AEM The software was originally launched in early 2000 as Communiqué (CQ) by Day Software of Basel, Switzerland. After CQ 5.3 had been released, Day Software was acquired by Adobe Systems in 2010 then CQ became Adobe Experience Manager. From

Custom synchronisation or rollout action for blueprint ?

By

Blueprint is an important feature for all those sites which needs to deals with multiple locale and region specific sites. Consider that we have 20 different regional sites and each regional site have 2 locales (English and regional language). Now let’s say you need to do a small update on a English locale page and that changes is required on all sites, there will be 20 pages that you’ll need to visit and make changes one by one (if you have not used blueprint and live copy). With blueprint  we can create a master copy (which is called as blueprint) and create many live copies (which are actual sites) and the benefit you get is that as soon as you do any change in blueprint that same change will be propagated to all live copies pages when changes are rolled out by authors…this is cool. With blueprint you’ll need to apply changes only to English locale page on blueprint and all English locale pages (live copies) will receive that change implicitly. So, how this whole thing works? W

AEM, FORM Submission & Handling POST requests

By
In this article I’ll be specifically talking about how to handle POST request in AEM and what options we have. Please note that Adobe has added more security around handling POST request from AEM 6.x onwards to prevent CSRF attack. If you don’t configure AEM correctly, POST requests will not work even after using any of methods explained in this article.   You can read more about security configurations and restriction at: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/security/csrf-protection.html It is very common use cases to have external application POST some data to an AEM page (e.g. /content/en/home.html) or even submit a form (POST) to same URL. But, as you know that in AEM POST works differently and any POST call to AEM is intercepted by Sling’s POST servlet (org.apache.sling.servlets.post.impl.SlingPostServlet). In some cases org.apache.sling.servlets.post.impl. SlingPostServlet is very useful when you actually want to perform CURD (create, update, read and d
