What is a need of having two different dates jcr:lastModified
and cq:lastModified
in AEM and when which one is used ?
cq:lastModified
is present at jcr:content
node level, means it is available on all those nodes whose jcr:primaryType
is cq:pageContent
. Where as at all other nodes types jcr:lastModified
is used. In general we can say that if any content is getting modified through aem functionality it will refer and update cq:lastModified
and everything else that is using JCR core functionality will refer and update jcr:lastModified
. Both properties can’t be present on the same node.
Note:
jcr:content( cq:pageContent ) is a structured node and has a sling:resourceType
property which points or refers to the component that contains the sling script which will be used for rendering the content.
