The project is a simple demonstration of Adobe Experience Manager's new /conf node and the com.adobe.granite.confmgr.ConfMgr service.

See http://www.nateyolles.com/blog/2016/03/aem-slash-conf-and-confmgr for a detailed description of /conf and com.adobe.granite.confmgr.ConfMgr.

The demonstration is a multi-tenant project containing 3 companies and a sub project:

• Pied Piper: http://localhost:4502/content/piedpiper/en.html
• Aviator: http://localhost:4502/content/aviato/en.html
• Hooli: http://localhost:4502/content/hooli/en.html
• Hooli XYZ subproject: http://localhost:4502/content/hooli/hoolixyz/en.html

All sites use one custom component that displays the correct Twitter and Facebook links as per the sites corresponding configuration.

• Sling Model: /core/src/main/java/com/nateyolles/aem/slashconfdemo/core/models/SocialMediaModel.java
• Sightly Component: /ui.apps/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/slashconfdemo/components/content/socialmedia/socialmedia.html

The global settings disable both sites:

/conf/global/settings/socialmedia/facebook/jcr:content/@enabled = false
/conf/global/settings/socialmedia/twitter/jcr:content/@enabled = false

Hooli enables and configures both sites:

/conf/tenants/hooli/settings/socialmedia/twitter
/conf/tenants/hooli/settings/socialmedia/facebook

Hooli XYZ inherits from Hooli but overwrites Twitter:

/conf/tenants/hooli/hoolixyz/settings/socialmedia/twitter

Pied Piper configures both sites. Aviato does not have a configuration and thus falls back to the Global settings.

The sites Pied Piper and Hooli, and well as the subsite Hooli XYZ, are linked to their perspective configurations:

/content/piedpiper/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/piedpiper
/content/hooli/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/hooli
/content/hooli/hoolixyz/jcr:content/@cq:conf = /conf/tenants/hooli/hoolixyz

The main parts of the template are:

• core: Java bundle containing all core functionality in Sling Models
• ui.apps: contains the /apps and /etc parts of the project containing clientlibs, components, and templates
• ui.content: contains sample content using the components from the ui.apps
• ui.conf: contains configurations for our sample companies

To build all the modules run in the project root directory the following command with Maven 3:

mvn clean install

If you have a running AEM instance you can build and package the whole project and deploy into AEM with

mvn clean install -PautoInstallPackage

The project comes with the auto-public repository configured. To setup the repository in your Maven settings, refer to:

http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/SetUpTheAdobeMavenRepository.html

Reference the com.adobe.granite.confmgr dependency by using the uber-jar:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.aem</groupId>
    <artifactId>uber-jar</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.0</version>
    <classifier>obfuscated-apis</classifier>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Alternatively, you can reference the dependency specifically:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.adobe.granite</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.adobe.granite.confmgr</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

The jar can be obtained from your local AEM instance and installed into your local repository:

wget --user admin --password admin http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/commons/install/com.adobe.granite.confmgr-1.0.0.jar &&
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=com.adobe.granite.confmgr-1.0.0.jar -DgroupId=com.adobe.granite -DartifactId=com.adobe.granite.confmgr -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar
