Easier initial content loading of binary files
----------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-1161
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1161
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JCR
Affects Versions: JCR Contentloader 2.0.4
Reporter: Vidar S. Ramdal
Priority: Minor
Fix For: JCR Contentloader 2.0.6
When specifying initial content in XML file(s), and you want to include binary
files somwhere in your content structure, you currently have 2 options:
1: Inline the binary data in the XML file (like you get when you do a JCR
export)
2: Create a folder structure next to the XML file, and store your binary files
in the corresponding folders
Option 1 is not suitable for files over a certain size, and option 2 is a royal
pain when you have a deep structure, and also takes away some of the advantages
of specifying content in XML.
Therefore, I suggest the option of storing your binary file anywhere, while
referencing it in your XML. When the content loader
(o.a.s.jcr.contentloader.i.r.XmlReader) encounters such a reference, it calls
ContentCreator.createFileAndResourceNode so that the file is loaded to the
correct place.
Patch coming up.
