sling:install

Full name:

org.apache.sling:sling-maven-plugin:3.0.2:install

Description:

Install the project's artifact to a running Sling instance (in case it is an OSGi bundle). It uses the first valid OSGi bundle file for deployment from the primary artifact and all secondary ones. For details refer to Bundle Installation. To install an arbitrary bundle not attached to the current Maven project use goal install-file.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is not marked as thread-safe and thus does not support parallel builds.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: install.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<slingUrl> URI - The URL of the running Sling instance.

The default is only useful for WebConsole deployment.

For WebDAV deployment it is recommended to include the Sling Simple WebDAV servlet root, for instance http://localhost:8080/dav/default/libs/sling/install. Omitting the dav/default segment can lead to conflicts with other servlets.


Default value is: http://localhost:8080/system/console.
User property is: sling.url.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<bundleStart> boolean - Whether to start the uploaded bundle or not. Only applies when POSTing to Felix Web Console
Default value is: true.
User property is: sling.bundle.start.
<bundleStartLevel> String - The start level to set on the installed bundle. If the bundle is already installed and therefore is only updated this parameter is ignored. The parameter is also ignored if the running Sling instance has no StartLevel service (which is unusual actually). Only applies when POSTing to Felix Web Console.
Default value is: 20.
User property is: sling.bundle.startlevel.
<deploymentMethod> BundleDeploymentMethod - Bundle deployment method. One of the following three values are allowed
  1. WebConsole, uses the Felix Web Console REST API for deployment (HTTP POST). This is the default. Make sure that slingUrl points to the Felix Web Console in that case.
  2. WebDAV, uses WebDAV for deployment (HTTP PUT). Make sure that slingUrl points to the entry path of the Sling WebDAV bundle (defaults to /dav/default in the Sling starter). Issues a HTTP Delete for the uninstall goal.
  3. SlingPostServlet, uses the Sling Post Servlet for deployment (HTTP POST). Make sure that slingUrl points a path which is handled by the Sling POST Servlet (usually below regular Sling root URL).
For more details refer to Bundle Installation. This has precedence over the deprecated parameter usePut. If nothing is set the default is either WebConsole or WebDAV (when usePut is true).
User property is: sling.deploy.method.
<failOnError> boolean - Determines whether or not to fail the build if the HTTP POST or PUT returns an non-OK response code.
Default value is: true.
User property is: sling.failOnError.
<httpConnectTimeoutSec> int 3.0.0 HTTP connection timeout (in seconds). Determines the timeout until a new connection is fully established. This may also include transport security negotiation exchanges such as SSL or TLS protocol negotiation).
Default value is: 10.
User property is: sling.httpConnectTimeoutSec.
<httpResponseTimeoutSec> int 3.0.0 HTTP response timeout (in seconds). Determines the timeout until arrival of a response from the opposite endpoint.
Default value is: 60.
User property is: sling.httpResponseTimeoutSec.
<mimeType> String - The content type / mime type used for WebDAV or Sling POST deployment.
Default value is: application/java-archive.
User property is: sling.mimeType.
<mountByFS> boolean - Whether to add (for install)/remove (for uninstall) the mapping for the Apache Sling File System Resource Provider for the bundle's initial content. This parameter must not be true with bundles resolved from the Maven repository.
Default value is: false.
User property is: sling.mountByFS.
<password> String - The password to authenticate at the running Sling instance.
Default value is: admin.
User property is: sling.password.
<refreshPackages> boolean - Whether to refresh the packages after installing the uploaded bundle. Only applies when POSTing to Felix Web Console
Default value is: true.
User property is: sling.refreshPackages.
<skip> boolean - Whether to skip this step even though it has been configured in the project to be executed.
Default value is: false.
User property is: sling.install.skip.
<slingConsoleUrl> URI - The WebConsole URL of the running Sling instance. This is required for file system provider operations. If not configured the value of slingUrl is used.
User property is: sling.console.url.
<slingUrlSuffix> String - An optional url suffix which will be appended to the sling.url for use as the real target url. This allows to configure different target URLs in each POM, while using the same common sling.url in a parent POM (eg. sling.url=http://localhost:8080 and sling.urlSuffix=/project/specific/path). This is typically used in conjunction with WebDAV or SlingPostServlet deployment methods.
User property is: sling.urlSuffix.
<usePut> boolean - Deprecated. Use deploymentMethod instead.
Default value is: false.
User property is: sling.usePut.
<user> String - The user name to authenticate at the running Sling instance.
Default value is: admin.
User property is: sling.user.
