Sling based JCR Explorer
By shankha - JCRDev | Posted on 2009-12-29 04:58
You may already known about it, still I am mentioning this here.
I was going through the Apache Sling Site and found out that Sling itself is working on a prototype of a Sling Based JCR Explorer.
Being a JCR based CMS user / developer we all know that the JCR repository needs to be explored pretty often by us to find out if the nodes we are creating and the properties we are setting to those nodes are actually "working" or not. For that we generally use some 3rd party jcr-explorer, which sometimes cost a substantial amount of time to make that explorer "work".
Sling 6 (as mentioned in the POM - incubator-6-SNAPSHOT) is going to be equipped with an in-built JCR Explorer. The Sling based explorer also come in two flavours (I mean GUI), one for ExtJS and the other with Google's GWT.
How to taste the application really works?
According to the GWT Explorer contributer ""Christophe Lombart" it is just a prototype. So, to download the source code, go to :
Then downlaod "sling-explorer-only-gwt.zip".
Now navigate to the downloaded directory. Edit the POM.xml file and change the "incubator-6-SNAPSHOT" to "incubator-5" if you are using Sling 5.
Compile the source code using "mvn clean compile".
Open the Sling management console and browse for the "target" directory where you will find the required "jar" file to be deployed. Deploy the jar and start it.
Now visit the url : http://<host name>:<port no>/apps/explorer/index.html
You will get the JCR explorer working for you. If you want to view a screenshot without installing the application, you can download the "slingexplorer.tiff" file and view it from the explorer download page.
