We have a fresh install of DXA 1.7 (Java WebApp) on SDL Web 8.5. We recently enabled the context-expression-module on DXA by enabling the maven profile. The application builds fine and still renders the home page. To push this further we setup Target Groups and set JEXL expressions as outlined in the docs. When I set the Context Expressions using the powershell command I received the following output for both Target Groups:

ExtensionData      : 
ApplicationId      : ce:TargetGroupExtension
Data               : {64, 24, 84, 97...}
ManagedLinks       : 
TypeId             : DataContract:TargetGroupExtensionData, http://wwww.sdltridion.com/ContentManager/Extensions/ContextExpressions/2013, 8.5.0.23314
IsInherited        : 
OwningRepositoryId :

I used two expressions, one per Target Group: browser.vendor == 'Google' and browser.vendor == 'Mozilla'. I then put two different articles on the home page, one includes the Google target vendor and excludes the Mozilla target vendor. The other article does the opposite. enter image description here

However, when I render the home page I still see both pieces of content rendered for both Chrome and Firefox. I see the following in the DXA WebApp logs:

Does anyone know why it would be picking up the Target Groups but not be picking up the Context Expressions?

Bart, your comment was correct. It seemed that the target groups were published, but the extension dao (<Bundle src="storage_extension_dao_bundle.xml" />) wasn't properly set up, and the deployer_conf.xml also didn't contain the proper pipeline items (so this piece of the documentation wasn't properly installed : https://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL%20Web-v5/GUID-1E6F175B-85C9-4645-B249-348E5ECF5369),

As a result, the target groups showed as 'published', but they weren't properly stored in the Broker DB ExtensionData table.

Once we added the correct configuration, everything started to work.

  • one additional note : in our client's DXA webapp, the context extensions still weren't working. We found that they had this in their dxa.properties file spring.profiles.active=adf.context.provider. Removing this fixed it for them, since making the adf.context.provider spring profile active would completely disable context services, hence the target group data wouldn't get loaded properly.
