Hi Greg
One difference between an JCR Content Package (ZIP file) is that you can use
the exploded tree inside the Eclipse or IntelliJ plugin and edit / deploy /
import (from
server) one file at a time. With the Bundle Content you have to deploy it
as an entire bundle.
If working with JSon you have to keep in mind that:
1) You don’t have comments but you can add a comment attribute but
see that as JCR property
2) There is only a SINGLE LINE text in JSon
This works:
“attributeOne” : “One line is ok”
This does not:
“attributeTwo” : “This line will
fail as it is multi line”
For most part this is ok but certain configurations that is not good.
Having worked on bigger AEM projects we ended up having many
JCR Content Packages and OSGi Bundles and so eventually we
used a dedicated ALL JCR Package which is just there to bundle up
all artifacts and deploy them in one swoop.
For most part I prefer the Bundle Contents over JCR Packages especially
with Sling as Composum prints outs node properties as JSon. That said
I never worked on a big project with it and so I don’t know what issues
I would face. A friend of mine said they ran into issues with it.
As far as I know SLING-INF is not needed but I would recommend to
place your content is a specially marked folder and not just
/scr/main/resources.
This line is more instructive:
SLING-INF/libs/sling/validation/i18n;overwrite:=true;path:=/libs/sling/validation/i18n
than this:
apps/fling;path:=/apps/fling;overwrite:=true;uninstall:=true
In Sling 9 you can have both JCR Packages and Bundle Content w/o any issues.
