How to change the repository home directory

Per default, CRX will be installed in a folder named crx-quickstart located in the JVM's root folder. In order to change the default crx-quickstart installation folder, follow these steps. In this example the default installation folder will be prefixed with my_custom_path:

  • extract the default crx-xxx-quickstart.jar with 'java -jar crx-xxx-quickstart.jar' in a temporary location
  • navigate to crx-quickstart/server/webapps
  • unzip crx-explorer_crx.war to crx-explorer_crx
  • edit crx-explorer_crx/WEB-INF/web.xml
    • locate servlet with name Repository and adjust the value of the repository-home parameter to my_custom_path/crx-quickstart/repository
    • locate servlet JCRExplorer and adjust value of parameter explorer-home to my_custom_path/crx-quickstart/repository
    • locate servlet JCRWebdavServer and change value of parameter home to my_custom_path/crx-quickstart
  • edit crx-explorer_crx/WEB-INF/log4j.xml
    • adapt the path of the error.log and translation.log files and prefix them with my_custom_path
  • unzip crx-launchpad.war to crx-launchpad
  • edit crx-launchpad/WEB-INF/web.xml
    • adjust parameter sling.home to my_custom_path/crx-quickstart/launchpad

After having reconfigured the paths, simply repackage the previously unzipped webapps and deploy these in the application server of your choice, first crx-explorer_crx.war, then crx-launchpad.war. Once deployed, the repository home directory will be located at <app_server_home>/my_custom_path.

Note:- You might encounter an io file permission error like [1] make sure the app runas user have write privileges to the parent of sling.home.

[1]  java.io.FileNotFoundException: my_custom_path/../system.id (Permission denied)

AEM 6.3 - Check if page is published or not

If you want to know if the page is published or not you can use the below utility method to know if the page is published or not. Steps - Take Resource Object. Adapt it to Page Adapt page to ReplicationStatus, you will get the status Here is the code - public static Boolean isPublished(Resource resource) { Boolean activated; ReplicationStatus status = null; activated = false; if (resource != null) { try { Page page = resource.adaptTo( Page.class ); status = page.adaptTo( ReplicationStatus.class ); } catch (Exception e) { LOG.debug(e.getMessage (), e); } if (status != null) { activated = status.isActivated(); } } return activated; }

Forecasting EB-2/EB-3 Green Card Filing Dates - Machine Learning Model

In this blog post, we'll explore the process of forecasting Green Card filing dates using a simple linear regression model in Python. By analyzing historical data from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), we can use basic machine learning techniques to predict future filing dates. I will walk you through the process step-by-step. Gathering Data:    To begin our journey, we need to gather relevant data. You can collect data from USCIS or other trustworthy sources. This dataset should include essential information such as the visa category, country of chargeability, and the final action date for each month. For this use case, I collected data manually from USCIS visa bulletin for India EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Data looks like this - Visa bulletin - Building the Linear Regression Model:    Using Python libraries like scikit-learn, we can construct our linear regression model. This simple yet powerful algorithm will help us forecast Green Card...

CQ Page Properties from Javascript

To get CQ page properties inside javascript you can use core CQ JS API. It can be convenient if you need to get this information inside your custom JS widgets.              var pageData = CQ.HTTP.get(CQ.HTTP.externalize(CQ.utils.WCM.getPagePath() + "/jcr:content.json")); After that you can retrieve any property you need (assuming it's present in JCR):              var resourceType = pageData ? CQ.Util.formatData(CQ.HTTP.eval(pageData))['sling:resourceType'] : null; Please do not overuse it because it invokes additional ajax call to server. It's OK to use it in edit mode on author instance.
