Tridion + DXA 1.2 Java + Not able to retrieve the component content without paasing component template id

Question

I am using BrokerComponentPresentationProvider, to retrieve the component content by passing componentId and publication id. Provider returns null response,"Component Presentation not found for componentId: %d, templateId: %d and publicationId: %d";

please suggest how to retrieve the component content where we need to populate the content dynamically

public org.dd4t.contentmodel.ComponentPresentation getDynamicComponentPresentation(int componentId, int publicationId)

Answer 1

Can you check the cd_core log to see what's happening and also whether the component presentation is actually published? What happens under the hood is that if you don't give a template Id, it will follow the old logic of calling:

 factory.getComponentPresentationWithHighestPriority(componentId);

This behaviour has not changed between dd4t 2.0.1 and 2.0.2.

In order to get the Component Presentation through the factory, if you don't have a template Id, you can do:

ComponentPresentationFactoryImpl.getInstance()
 .getComponentPresentation (componentURI, "tcm:0-0-0")

If you really want to keep on using the old GenericComponentFactory, you can also add the following dependency to your web application:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.dd4t</groupId>
    <artifactId>dd4t-compatibility</artifactId>
    <version>${dd4t.version}</version>
</dependency>

which brings it back. Note that the logic will be the same as in the new ComponentPresentationFactory.
