Input Parameters

The InvokeAssembler servlet bean has two input parameters, includePath and contentCollection.

includePath

Use the includePath parameter for a page request.

For example, to assemble content for a browse page, specify /pages/browse for the includePath (passing in a /browse path will not match because it is missing the /pages prefix).

contentCollection

Use the contentCollection parameter for a content collection request.

For example,  Search Box Auto Suggest Content. InvokeAssembler parses the contentCollection into a ContentSlotConfig component.

The includePath and contentCollection parameters are mutually exclusive but one of them must be passed when using the InvokeAssembler servlet bean.

ruleLimit

This optional parameter is used in conjunction with the contentCollection parameter to specify the number of items that should be returned from the specified content collection.

Output Parameters

The InvokeAssembler servlet bean has one output parameter, contentItem. This parameter contains the root ContentItem returned by the Assembler. If this content item is empty, the request was not an Assembler request.
