AEM Filter.xml

I made below changes in filter.xml file:
<filter root="/etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/" mode="update"/>

 

There are certain rollout-configs listed under path /etc/msm/rolloutconfigs

 

/etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/rollout-config-sample has some value for 'editMap' property at editProperties node ( /etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/rollout-config-dealer/jcr:content/editProperties).

rollout-config-sample is not part of the code base and I did some modification in editMap value for which I created a package and Installed on the server. After each deployment, my modified value gets overwritten even though I've set mode="update".
I was expecting it to add the new content while keeping the existing value in place.

Could anyone please help me understand why mode="update" didn't work as expected here or I understood it wrong?

Hi @meenurajput, I think what you should try mode="merge". I think the update mode is working as expected.

update : Existing content is updated, new content is added and none is deleted.

Please find more information about each mode under https://jackrabbit.apache.org/filevault/filter.html#Filter_Elements

    Hi @lukasz-m Thanks for you response. With mode="update" We expect that Existing content is updated, new content is added and none is deleted.

    My situation is that I’m installing a package which is adding some content at /etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/rollout-config-same path. Once i deploy code, it is overwriting the line of code I added with the old/previous value.
     

    Before update, I also tried merge on a particular filter path like 

    	<filter root="/etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/rollout-config-dealer" mode="merge"/>

    With this, once I deployed the code, it was completely deleting the "/etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/rollout-config-dealer" node from /etc/msm/rolloutconfigs/ path.

          My issue is somewhat similar. 

          I want to preserve what is here: 

          <filter root="/apps/cq/core/content/nav/tools" mode="merge"/>

          Building the app, there is an error stating 

          "Filter root's ancestor '/apps/cq/core' is not covered by any of the specified dependencies.".

          When I add all of those to the filter, I still don't get the mode="merge" flag set in the UI.
