Hello everyone. I have just downloaded Sling, and am very impressed with it. I am planning on using it in conjunction with an Eclipse plugin to crowd source information about open source projects.
I am having the usual teething problems that I get whenever I use an open source product, and I am hoping to get some assistance. I have spent three days getting going, so I have tried quite a few combinations. Some general information for you "getting going with sling in 15 minutes" was very helpful. I have a version of Sling built from the source code using Maven, and a second which is the standalone Jar. On both of them the following curl command didn't work: curl -u admin:admin -F"sling:resourceType=foo/bar" -F"title=some title" http://localhost:8080/content/mynode I had to replace it with: curl -u admin:admin -F"sling:resourceType=foo/bar" -F"title=some title" http://localhost:8080/mynode At the moment my Sling-fu is weak and I am not sure if this is some configuration problem. --------------- I am now at the point at which I feel the master of Sling (pride comes before a fall) using Curl, so I have moved to Java. I have tried a number of Java libraries include the Apache HttpClient, http-unit and Rest-assured. I am now at the point at which I can get information out of Sling that I put in with Curl, but I am unable to programatically add it. Specifically I can create the node, but the attributes do not appear. Fairly obviously I am missing some critical configuration So I have the following questions: - ESP looks very nice. Where can I find information on how to use it. I have found some samples using it, but have not been very successful in finding tutorials / reference material. - What is the Java side client software that you recommend for use with Sling, and do you have any example code? - Can you advise why the following code does not set param1=value1, param2=value2? import org.apache.http.*; public class PopulateRepository { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { BasicCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider(); credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials("admin", "admin")); DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); client.setCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider); String nodeName = "newNodeName"; List<NameValuePair> formParams = Arrays.<NameValuePair> asList(new BasicNameValuePair("param1", "value1"), new BasicNameValuePair("param2", "value2")); UrlEncodedFormEntity entity = new UrlEncodedFormEntity(formParams, "UTF-8"); HttpPut action = new HttpPut("http://localhost:8080/"; + nodeName); HttpResponse response = client.execute(action); }} Thanks for making such an interesting product
