AEM /Conf demo

The project is a simple demonstration of Adobe Experience Manager's new /conf node and the com.adobe.granite.confmgr.ConfMgr service.

See http://www.nateyolles.com/blog/2016/03/aem-slash-conf-and-confmgr for a detailed description of /conf and com.adobe.granite.confmgr.ConfMgr.

Description

Sites

The demonstration is a multi-tenant project containing 3 companies and a sub project:

Pied Piper: http://localhost:4502/content/piedpiper/en.html
Aviator: http://localhost:4502/content/aviato/en.html
Hooli: http://localhost:4502/content/hooli/en.html
Hooli XYZ subproject: http://localhost:4502/content/hooli/hoolixyz/en.html

Component

All sites use one custom component that displays the correct Twitter and Facebook links as per the sites corresponding configuration.

Sling Model: /core/src/main/java/com/nateyolles/aem/slashconfdemo/core/models/SocialMediaModel.java
Sightly Component: /ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/slashconfdemo/components/content/socialmedia/socialmedia.html

Configurations

The global settings disable both sites:

/conf/global/settings/socialmedia/facebook/jcr:content/@enabled = false
/conf/global/settings/socialmedia/twitter/jcr:content/@enabled = false

Hooli enables and configures both sites:

/conf/tenants/hooli/settings/socialmedia/twitter
/conf/tenants/hooli/settings/socialmedia/facebook

Hooli XYZ inherits from Hooli but overwrites Twitter:

/conf/tenants/hooli/hoolixyz/settings/socialmedia/twitter

Pied Piper configures both sites. Aviato does not have a configuration and thus falls back to the Global settings.

Linking to configurations

The sites Pied Piper and Hooli, and well as the subsite Hooli XYZ, are linked to their perspective configurations:

/content/piedpiper/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/piedpiper
/content/hooli/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/hooli
/content/hooli/hoolixyz/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/hooli/hoolixyz

Modules

The main parts of the template are:

core: Java bundle containing all core functionality in Sling Models
ui.apps: contains the /apps and /etc parts of the project containing clientlibs, components, and templates
ui.content: contains sample content using the components from the ui.apps
ui.conf: contains configurations for our sample companies

How to build

To build all the modules run in the project root directory the following command with Maven 3:

mvn clean install

If you have a running AEM instance you can build and package the whole project and deploy into AEM with

mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage

Maven settings

The project comes with the auto-public repository configured. To setup the repository in your Maven settings, refer to:

Dependencies

Reference the com.adobe.granite.confmgr dependency by using the uber-jar:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
    <artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.0</version>
    <classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Alternatively, you can reference the dependency specifically:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.granite</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.adobe.granite.confmgr</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

The jar can be obtained from your local AEM instance and installed into your local repository:

wget --user admin --password admin http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/commons/install/com.adobe.granite.confmgr-1.0.0.jar &&
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=com.adobe.granite.confmgr-1.0.0.jar -DgroupId=com.adobe.granite -DartifactId=com.adobe.granite.confmgr -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar
