RepoInit In AEM (Part II)

Repoinit configuration file is usually placed inside /apps/yourproject/osgiconfig/<environmentspecificconfig>. for author, publisher or environment (runmodes) the configuration may differ. Repoinit file can be config file or json file. For example

org.apache.sling.jcr.repoinit.RepositoryInitializer~yourproject.cfg.json

(Notice the ~ sign)

Script statements can be written in this file as below.

{
 "scripts": [
 "create path (sling:OrderedFolder) /content/dam/yourproject",
"create path (nt:unstructured) /content/dam/yourproject/jcr:content",
 ]
}

Or

org.apache.sling.jcr.repoinit.RepositoryInitializer-yourproject.config

(Notice the hifen sign)

Script statements can be written in this file as below.

scripts=[

Let’s look at some example statements

create user kinjal

OR

create user kinjal with path /home/users/a

Create user with password

create user kinjal with password mypassword

Create service user

create service user myserviceuser

Create a group

create group testGroup
create group testGroup with path /home/groups/a

Create path

create path /one/two/three

create path /three/four(nt:folk)/five(nt:jazz)/six
 
create path (nt:x) /seven/eight/nine

create path /one(mixin nt:art)/step(mixin nt:dance)/two/steps

create path (nt:foxtrot) /one/step(mixin nt:dance)/two/steps

create path /one/step(mixin nt:dance,nt:art)/two/steps

create path /one/step(nt:foxtrot mixin nt:dance)/two/steps

create path /one/step(nt:foxtrot mixin nt:dance,nt:art)/two/steps

create path /one:and/step/two:and/steps

create path /one@home/step/two@home/steps

create path /one+tap/step/two+tap/steps

Create Path with Properties

create path (sling:Folder) /var/discovery(nt:unstructured)/somefolder2 with properties
  set sling:ResourceType{String} to /x/y/z

  default someInteger{Long} to 42
