FileVault for import and export of JCR?
Hello,
I'm a former CQ/AEM developer and architect. I'm evaluating the prospect of
using Sling+Oak as the basis for a brand new WCM I'll build from scratch.
Purchasing AEM is not an interest as we're looking to build something
different.
I have a list of features which Day/Adobe solved with the CRX product,
which are not available for me with the raw Sling product. I need to solve
every one of those features myself if I'm going to use Sling.
Of those features, the one I'm hung up on right now is repository
import/export. I've done this easily with CRX packages in the past, which
are apparently using the File Vault api under the hood to map XML-to-repo
and repo-to-XML.
So now I need help. Without CRX, how can I accomplish repo import/export?
I might be willing to re-write something like the CRX package manager
myself from scratch... I think. But obviously, I could save myself
some *serious
*time if there's an existing import/export solution. I'm sure I'm missing
something - there's gotta be a slick way.
I'd like to just resftully POST a package to Sling as I did with CRX, but
if that's not an option, is the vlt command line tool my only option? If
the command line tool is what I must use... how do I install it? There are
no instructions at [1]. I have successfully built the filevault project
from source, but the target directory doesn't yield a jar file with a
"main" method declared in the manifest, so I don't know how to use that at
the command line.
Also, I have already seen the data import documentation at [2] and I
believe it's not a valid repo import/export option.

The only way I know of to export data from Jackrabbit is by
session.exportSystemView and session.exportDocumentView, so I think if you
want to further filter the output XML you'll have to probably use an XML
parser (SAX/DOM) to filter out the parts you don't need, but AFTER the JCR
exports the XML to a file/stream. However i've never used filevault or
composium, so i don't know specifically what that entails.

Hi All,
I can no longer use composum.
Does anybody have some terminal commands or procedure they follow for
exporting data without composum? I've downloaded this "jackrabbit-filevault"
project, and I've tried some different terminal commands after reading the
documentation. Not sure what I'm doing.
Does anybody here export data from JCR without composum? What's the process?
*********
For those curious, why not Composum?
It is demonstrating a severe defect preventing me from building a jcr
package [https://github.com/ist-dresden/composum/issues/60]. Even if that
defect is solved, this instability is concerning enough that we need a
separate reliable process for exporting data

For posterity - I am a Sling User and Composum Package Manager was the right
solution.
Thank you all

Hey Lance,
Seeing as you are going to use Sling, have you looked at Composum[1]? It has all the features you need from CRX, it makes packages, it has a repository browser,...
It has MIT License and will even be included from the upcoming release of Sling, version 9, on.
Greets,
Roy

Re: FileVault for import and export of JCR?

I guess you already know about these...
session.exportSystemView();
session.exportDocumentView();
They give you XML that you can easily import later. It doesn't require CRX
but only requires the freely available JCR Open source code. I can point
you to examples of code if this is helpful, but as a former AEM dev you may
already know all this, and i'm maybe just not understanding what you're
looking for. Let me know.
Best regards,

Have a look at JCRVLT-151 where such an API is being worked upon

UPDATE:
I have discovered the file /vault-cli/target/appassembler/bin/vlt after
building FileVault from source, and that appears to give me command line
tooling. However, I'm really wondering how other Sling users do this,
because I'm not sure this command line solution is feasible for production
devops.
