A sample sling blog

Introduction

This is a simple application built on Apache Sling using a sling model and a servlet.

The application consists of two separate modules:

• sling-blog: This is the "core" of the application, consisting of a sling model and a servlet, returning the blog contents as JSON.
• sling-blog-content: This consists of some initial content for the repository, as well as the HTL template that uses the sling model.

With your launchpad running and both packages installed, you should be able to examine the following:

• Some content nodes were created:
  • /content/blog: a capgemini/blog node
  • /content/blog/post1: a capgemini/blogpost node
• When browsing to localhost:8080/content/blog.json, you will get an overview of all blogposts that are available under this path. Using following selectors you can specify a selection:
  • all: shows all blogposts. not to be used together with 3mostrecent selector
  • 3mostrecent: shows the three most recent created blogposts. not to be used together with all selector
  • showdetails: shows additional details for all blogposts.
• When browsing to localhost:8080/content/blog/post1.html you will be able to see an article.

Sling-Blog

About

This is the "core" of the application, consisting of a sling model and a servlet, returning the blog contents as JSON.

This is a maven based project, based on the sling-bundle-archetype. Some extra dependencies were added, as well as the location of the sling models.

Deployment

Please make sure that JDK 8 has been installed! You can then deploy the application by performing a mvn clean install with the autoInstallBundle profile selected.

Sling-Blog-Content

About

This consists of some initial content for the repository, as well as the HTL template that uses the sling model.

This is a maven based project, based on the sling-initial-content-archetype. It was configured in such a way, that the initial content will not be overwritten if the bundle is uninstalled. This can be changed in the POM.

Deployment

You can deploy the application by performing a mvn clean install with the autoInstallBundle profile selected. The HTL Maven Plugin was installed and will block a successful build if there are any warnings or errors.
