Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E123 exam

Topic #: 3

What is the out-of-the-box response of the dispatcher when requesting a URL which is defined as deny in /filter setting of the dispatcher?

A400

B404

C403

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In an AEM as a Cloud Service environment, the preferred approach to clear dispatcher cache of required resources is to use the Replication API along with a replication flush agent. This method allows for programmatic clearing of the cache and is the standard way of invalidating cached content so that the dispatcher can retrieve fresh content from the publish instance.

Option A, 'Enable the explicit cache invalidation feature in cloud manager,' is not a standard feature available in Cloud Manager.

Option C, 'Create a servlet, which will make an HTTP request to the dispatcher,' is not advisable as it bypasses the recommended AEM replication and flushing mechanisms and could lead to inconsistencies.

403 is definitely the standard for deny settings!

I thought it would be a 400, but 403 makes sense.

Wait, are you sure it's not a 404?

It's a 403 response.

I’m pretty confident it’s 403 since it indicates forbidden access, but I wish I had reviewed that section more thoroughly.

I might be mixing things up, but I feel like 404 could be a possibility if the URL is not found, though that doesn't seem right for a deny setting.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I believe it was about access denial, which makes me lean towards 403 as well.

I think the response should be 403, but I'm not entirely sure if that's right.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is 400 Bad Request. When the dispatcher denies a URL, it's essentially telling the client that their request is invalid, so a 400 response seems like the logical choice.

Wait, I thought the dispatcher would return a 404 Not Found if the URL was denied. I'm not totally confident on this, but I'm going to go with option B for now.

Okay, I've got this. If a URL is defined as deny in the /filter setting, the dispatcher will respond with a 403 Forbidden status code. That makes sense since the client is not allowed to access that resource.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the dispatcher has some security features, but I can't quite remember the specifics of how it handles denied URLs. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty straightforward dispatcher question. I think the key is understanding how the /filter setting works and what the different HTTP status codes mean.

403 Forbidden, obviously. Unless the dispatcher is having a bad day and decides to respond with a cheeky 418 I'm a Teapot, just to spice things up a bit.

403 Forbidden, no doubt. Unless the dispatcher is feeling particularly sassy and decides to return a surprise 418 I'm a Teapot response instead. You know, just to keep things interesting.

Definitely 403 Forbidden. Anything else would be a bit odd, don't you think? I mean, who wants their dispatcher to be a rebel and return a 400 or 404 instead?
