...I'm new to using spring and jackrabbit and was wondering what
the best
approach is to configure jackrabbit when it is deployed inside

was by "extending" the jackrabbit-server module and repacking it
inside a
custom bundles module. This works but seems a bit contrived. I've
attempted to specify which configuration file to use in the
sling.properties
file as well as in the web.xml. Neither seemed to work....
The changes of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-739 should
help, can you try that?
...Also, I would like my content bundles to be able to updated
local file
system copies from within the maven build directory as things are
changed
inside the JCR....
Not sure what you mean, is that about replicating repository content
to the filesystem?
Correct, what I am looking to accomplish is that any changes made to
the content, scripts, or properties inside the JCR are written to the
bundles local build directory.
As an example, lets say I am working on content that was installed
from Bundle Foo. If I built and deployed that bundle to a local sling
instance on my workstation from ~/bundles/foo/, I would like any
changes done inside the JCR to be applied to the corresponding files
in the build directory. This is only for work that is done inside the
development environment and would be disabled in the production
environment. For the time being all content is still going to have
it's versioning maintained inside of svn.
I thought I saw someone mention a way to do this, however I can't
remember where.
...From the looks of it, jcr install seems it may be able to
do this, however I haven't had much luck finding any documentation
on jcr
install, or examples of it being used. Any pointers in the correct
direction on using jcr install would be greatly appreciated....
My plan is to document jcrinstall once I'm done with SLING-1078, so
soon hopefully.
Briefly, jcrinstall picks up bundles and configs stored in the
repository, and activates them.
For example, a bundle found under /libs/foo/install/somebundle.jar
will be automatically installed, or removed if that file goes away.
Same for a sling:OsgiConfig node at /libs/foo/install/some.config.pid.
I'm not sure if that's what you need, but if yes I'm happy to
elaborate.
I will also need that functionality. As I mentioned above I am still
going to be versioning content inside of svn, and I would like to be
able to have the node properties, content, and scripts in one bundle
that can be installed into an active Sling instance.
On that note, is there any available reference documentation or
configs for using jcrinstall? Or until SLING-1078 is there something
else I should be using to install content bundles?
