Minimal Sling

Hi all,

For educational purposes I am investigating a minimal, bare bones Sling.
It should include core OSGi bundles and the minimal necessary Sling concepts (resource resolver), but nothing more (content repo, etc).

Has anyone worked on something like this that I could re-use?

Also related to this I had a look at the File System Resource Provider [1]. AFAICS it works with files (binaries), but there does not seem to be a feature that would allow to work with fine-granular content (e.g. a JSON file). Has anyone worked on extending the FSRP by chance?

Thanks for any hints!
Michael

the Karaf Feature "sling" is a minimal Sling:

https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/karaf/org.apache.sling.karaf-features/src/main/feature/feature.xml

You can use SlingOptions (derived from Sling's Karaf Features) from Testing 
PaxExam for setting up a minimal Sling instance for tests:

https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/testing/org.apache.sling.testing.paxexam/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/testing/paxexam/SlingOptions.java

That's more like eons ago ;-)

As much as I love the Microsling story I don't think using it today
would make sense.

That was not on purpose. Honest ;-)

There was Microsling [1] a while ago. (Googling the term is a bit
awkward though...)

Hi,
Related to this subject.

Is it possible to run Sling with the FSRP as the root ResourceResolver at /
?
Or run a root ResourceResover that did almost nothing other than allow
ResourceProviders to be registered ?

Best Regards
Ian
