frederic rougeot created SLING-7457:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Poor documentation on mongoDB or other NOSQL use
Key: SLING-7457
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7457
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Reporter: frederic rougeot
I am evaluating sling.
I succeed in setting it up and it works as I thought, seems to be a very
valuable product for those who want to rapidlly build a software that relies on
JCR, which is my case.
But the next question is "Should I use a noSQL Database or not". As it may be
an important choice, since Sling is not really compatible with SQL database, I
wanted to make sling run with MongoDB.
I read the documentation, and at first impression, it seemed quite immediate; I
simply have to add an option to change the mode of launching the starter
application, as it is said in the following documentation:
[https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/the-sling-launchpad.html]
So I tried to launch the starter application with the following lines:
java -Dsling.run.modes=oak,oak_mongo -jar
org.apache.sling.starter-10-SNAPSHOT.jar
and checked with a mongodb client if a mongodb server was started or not ...
As I was unable to connect to mongodb://localhost:27017 I guess something is
missing, maybe mongodb should be installed separetely ?
I continue reading the documentation, and find
[https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html]
OK, my conclusion was I missed to install the nosql-resource-providers, so I
installed the bundle and check again ...
Nothing new, it seems I have done nothing.
So, always according to
[https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/nosql-resource-providers.html,]
there is another launchpad to use.
There is the link to the source code:
https://github.com/apache/sling-old-svn-mirror/tree/trunk/contrib/nosql/launchpad
But it is said that this source repository is obsolete and shall not be used.
So I get back to apache git repository, and filtered on "sling" and "nosql", I
can find some code now ...
https://github.com/apache?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=sling+nosql&type=&language=
But it is absolutely not clear to me whether I have to do something with that
modules or not ...
So my real problem is I can't get the right documentation on "How to setup
Sling 9 to work with mongodb" and there is, as far as I know, no forum where I
can ask this to a community to help.
I guess sling is working well with mongoDB, but if I need 10 days to set it up
(I spend 1 day, maybe it is not enough) my point of view is made: I won't use
mongodb.
But this maybe a terrible mistake !
So help please !
