RE: How to change run mode in Sling8

Update: Ok, I get it now. Thank you - this is really slick. For posterity: The "source code" for the "Sling Source Release" artifact at [1] is really not the project source code. It's just some text files that neatly describe which OSGI bundles and configurations (including run modes) you'd

RE: How to change run mode in Sling8

This is fantastic information! I'd love a nice clear how-to documentation for getting this done, but hey it's open source stuff, hah. I'll go fumble through the slingstart-maven-plugin and probably have a question or two along the way. Thanks guys. -- View this message in context:

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

Ok that makes sense. It sounds like developing a new codebase *based on* the launchpad might be my next step. I guess the launchpad is really an example, and not intended to be deployed to production as provided from the war download link here: https://sling.apache.org/downloads.cgi. I guess

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

Yes, I mean your application code. In my experience, the actual Sling launchpad is not very useful by itself except as a learning tool. In any real-world case, you will end up creating your own launchpad by taking the standard Sling launchpad and adding additional bundles to it. And while yes,

I would say that's how the creators of JavaEE intended for deployment options to be specified :) On Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 10:53 AM lancedolan wrote: > I can look into overriding init params through some servlet container > features. Is that the way that Sling devs expect

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

I can look into overriding init params through some servlet container features. Is that the way that Sling devs expect me to turn on Mongo functionality? -- View this message in context: http://apache-sling.73963.n3.nabble.com/How-to-change-run-mode-in-Sling8-tp4069494p4069529.html Sent from

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

Hmm, my genuine apologies, I'm not sure what custom application bits are. If you're saying that I can deploy code that I write to Sling, that's absolutely true, but my understanding is that I need to change the runmode BEFORE the Sling instance starts up for the very first time, and I can only

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

But don't you need your own artifact anyway to include your custom application bits? IIRC (and I can't find the code right now), we explicitly *don't* allow for system properties to be used for sling properties in a webapp case since multiple webapps can be deployed into the same container. In

Re: How to change run mode in Sling8

Why are you running the war file on Tomcat? It's not wrong of course. However, I believe that most users use the standalone jar and therefore help may be more readily available for that setup. Regards Julian On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 4:19 AM, lancedolan wrote: > I cannot
