Sling API for copying a folder to sling_home and mounting it as a FS Resource

Hi,

on activation of the sitebuilder bundle I would like to copy a folder to 
sling_home and mount it as a FS Resource.

It is used for example to contain the frontend packages (npm, 
github,...) and as they can get updated at runtime the FS folder should 
be mounted to the repo.

If there is no API for copying things to sling_home I would simply do 
that on my own but whats a bit more important is, that I haven't found 
an API for mounting a FS Resource. Of course I could send a post request 
to the config manager like 
'AbstractBundleInstallMojo().addConfiguration()' does. But my code 
already runs in the same VM so this is too much overhead in my opinion.
It would be good to call the FileMonitor directly but it's in an 
'internal' package which is marked private.
Is there an other API that I've missed?

Best,

Sandro

Hi Carsten,

I just found out that there is an API for the OSGi Configuration Admin. 
I only knew about the web console. This API is certainly the way to go, 
thanks again for your hint!

Best,

Sandro

Hi Sandro,

the API is in fact the OSGi Configuration Admin :) You can create an
OSGi Configuration and this will mount the provider. That's basically
the server side part of the POST request.
