How to beginn with Microsling

[tung vu duc <tu...@yahoo.com>]

I have read some articles on dev.day.com about mircosling. It is really great web framewok, exactly for a content-centric web app.
But i don't still understand how to beginn now. I have successful builded sling (the whole from trunk) with maven. what modules of whole sling should one need
to have the functionaties of Microsling and how to integrate these with a Jackrabbit Repo.

These articles on dev.day.com show the cool concept of sling and microsling. But newbies need somewhat clear, complete and practical exampls to beginn.
I personally want to integrate microsling + jackrabbit into my Grails web app to ease the access, manage, versioning and event notifications of the contents.
So i really want to know how to beginn with microsling.

Thanks in advance!

You can take the resulting sling war file and put it into any web  
container, eg tomcat. It contains the jackrabbit jars, and will  
automatically set up a repository, which will be available instantly,  
also via webdav. Then you can immediately put content and scripts into  
sling using eg curl.

Macintosh-3:sling torgeir$ find . -name "*.war"
./launchpad/testing/target/org.apache.sling.launchpad.testing-4- 
incubator-SNAPSHOT.war
./launchpad/webapp/target/org.apache.sling.launchpad.webapp-4- 
incubator-SNAPSHOT.war

Use the bottom one, and rename it eg. sling.war before adding it to  
tomcat. Your sling instance would then be available at http://localhost:8080/sling/

Check eg with http://localhost:8080/sling/system/console/bundles or  
try http://localhost:8080/sling/index.html

I guess you've already read http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/discover-sling-in-15-minutes.html
