Thanks for the swift reply
- I'll raise a bug about "Sling in 15 minutes" as soon as I can make a
unit test to capture it.
- I'm hoping someone can point me to a tutorial or reference materials
for ESP. Playing with javascript through reflection is hard work!
- Thanks for the idea of running Sling in the same OSGI container. I
suspect that won't work for crowd sourcing (you want one central
repository), but I think it would be an excellent way to learn how
everything ties together
- I was puzzled that PUT was the wrong method. As I understand it PUT is
the mechanism to "create or replace" in REST. However I replaced the call to
a post, and I just get internal server error 500s with nothing appearing in
the logs. I will chase that down when I have sorted out the next point:
- Assuming that there is a problem in my understanding in what is going
on, I reduced to the simplest thing that could wrong and produced the
following HTML page
<html>
<head><title>Testing</title></head>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost:8080/newNode1"; method="post">
<label for="name1">Name1</label> <input type="text" id="name1"
value="Value1" /><br />
<label for="name2">Name3</label> <input type="text" id="name2"
value="Value2" /><br />
<label for="name3">Name4</label> <input type="text" id="name3"
value="Value3" /><br />
<label for="name4">Name5</label> <input type="text" id="name4"
value="Value4" /><br />
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
My hope is that when I click the button this would create newNode1 with
attributes name1 = Value1 etc. And indeed (after logging in) it created
newNode1. However when I examine the node created using the url
http://localhost:8080/newNode1.json I find the following page:
{"jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured"}
However if I use
curl -u admin:admin -F"name1=value1" -F"name2=value2"
http://localhost:8080/newNodeQ1
And surf to http://localhost:8080/newNodeQ1.json I find
{"name2":"value2","jcr:primaryType":"nt:unstructured","name1":"value1"}
I would appreciate some advice on how to get the HTML to work similar to
curl
Thanks again for the help

My software stack is:
- Windows 7 64 bit
- JDK1.6.0_24
- Eclipse Indigo Release build 20110615-0604
- I am using jar "org.apache.sling.launchpad.base.jar", which I
downloaded earlier this week.
- I am running the jar using Eclipse using only defaults (no VM
arguments, no program arguments). The main method is from
class org.apache.sling.launchpad.app.Main
The console output from sling is
