cq include not working, 404 error

Question

I tried to include a component in another component using following code

<%
String fakePath = resource.getPath() + "/nav-tabs";
%>
<cq:include path="<%=fakePath%>" resourceType="ven/components/navMenu"/>

When I open the site page and tried to edit the component to author data, following error is coming in the browser console and not able to see the component dialog.

widgets.js:3318 GET http://localhost:4502/content/ven/global/en/testPage/jcr:content/nav-tabs.infinity.json?_dc=1481236797569 404 (Not Found)

I do not see any resource created below the content tree too.

Could any one shed some light on this?

Thanks, Sri

It looks like you placing this component directly on the page, because resource.getPath() returns http://localhost:4502/content/ven/global/en/testPage/jcr:content in your case. You can use page templates to create initial content when creating the page.

For components you can use cq:template resource:

Just place cq:template resource beneath your component. As soon you add a new component it should copy the content of it into your resource (similar to page templates)

In your case: _cq_template.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0"
      jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
    <nav-tabs
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="ven/components/navMenu"/>
</jcr:root>
