I'm working to update a build for production by building up a new launchpad project and starting the updated jar against the previous data. I've noticed that even with overwrite:=true or overwriteProperties:=true, initial content is not reloaded even when a new version of a bundle is introduced. Through a few rounds of debugging, I found in the code [1] that isUpdated or contentAlreadyLoaded seem to be the keys to loading the content on server start.
For a bundle named "great-bundle", I've found that I can set a property in JCR, /var/sling/bundle-content/great-bundle/content-loaded = false, and am able to load initial content from an updated bundle on server start. While I've found that I can delete or remove this property in JCR to do what I want, is this the suggested way of updating initial content from a new launchpad application jar? 1 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/sling/trunk/bundles/jcr/contentloader/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/contentloader/internal/Loader.java?revision=1000833&view=markup : line 157
