How to programmatically access the AEM JCR how-to-programmatically-access-the-aem-jcr

You can programmatically modify nodes and properties located within the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ repository, which is part of the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Experience Cloud. To access the CQ repository, you use the Javaâ„¢ Content Repository (JCR) API. You can use the Javaâ„¢ JCR API to create, replace, update, and delete (CRUD) content located within the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ repository. For more information about the Javaâ„¢ JCR API, see .

Create a Repository instance create-a-repository-instance

Although there are different ways to connect to a repository and establish a connection, this development article uses a static method that belongs to the org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils class. The name of the method is getRepository. This method takes a string parameter that represents the URL of the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ server. For example, http://localhost:4503/crx/server.

The getRepository method returns a Repository instance, as shown in the following code example.

//Create a connection to the AEM JCR repository running on local host
Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:4503/crx/server");

Create a Session instance create-a-session-instance

The Repository instance represents the CRX repository. You use the Repository instance to establish a session with the repository. To create a session, invoke the Repository ¾±²Ô²õ³Ù²¹²Ô³¦±ð’s login method and pass a javax.jcr.SimpleCredentials object. The login method returns a javax.jcr.Session instance.

You create a SimpleCredentials object by using its constructor and passing the following string values:

When passing the second parameter, call the String object’s toCharArray method. The following code shows how to call the login method that returns a javax.jcr.Sessioninstance.

//Create a Session instance
javax.jcr.Session session = repository.login( new SimpleCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));

Create a Node instance create-a-node-instance

Use a Session instance to create a javax.jcr.Node instance. A Node instance lets you perform node operations. For example, you can create a node. To create a node that represents the root node, invoke the Session ¾±²Ô²õ³Ù²¹²Ô³¦±ð’s getRootNode method, as shown in the following line of code.

//Create a Node
Node root = session.getRootNode();

Once you create a Node instance, you can perform tasks such as creating another node and adding a value to it. For example, the following code creates two nodes and adds a value to the second node.

// Store content
Node day = adobe.addNode("day");
day.setProperty("message", "51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ is part of the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Digital Marketing Suite!");

Retrieve Node Values retrieve-node-values

To retrieve a node and its value, invoke the Node ¾±²Ô²õ³Ù²¹²Ô³¦±ð’s getNode method and pass a string value that represents the fully qualified path to the node. Consider the node structure created in the previous code example. To retrieve the day node, specify adobe/day, as shown in the following code:

// Retrieve content
Node node = root.getNode("adobe/day");
System.out.println(node.getPath());
System.out.println(node.getProperty("message").getString());

Create nodes in the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ Repository create-nodes-in-the-adobe-cq-repository

The following Javaâ„¢ code example represents a Javaâ„¢ class that connects to 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ, creates a Session instance, and adds new nodes. A node is assigned a data value and then the value of the node and its path is written out to the console. When you are done with the Session, be sure to log out.

    //Create a connection to the CQ repository running on local host
    Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:4503/crx/server");

   //Create a Session
   javax.jcr.Session session = repository.login( new SimpleCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));

  //Create a node that represents the root node
  Node root = session.getRootNode();

  // Store content
  Node adobe = root.addNode("adobe");
  Node day = adobe.addNode("day");
  day.setProperty("message", "51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ CQ is part of the 51ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Digital Marketing Suite!");

  // Retrieve content
  Node node = root.getNode("adobe/day");
  System.out.println(node.getPath());
  System.out.println(node.getProperty("message").getString());

  // Save the session changes and log out
  session.save();
  session.logout();
  }
 catch(Exception e){
  e.printStackTrace();
  }
 }
}

After you run the full code example and create the nodes, you can view the new nodes in the CRXDE Lite, as shown in the following illustration.
