AEM archetype 23/24 - Maven Multi module Project with multi tenancy

[kaushal_mall]

Hello Team, @kaushal_mall 

I want to create a latest AEM maven archetype project using archetype version 23 or 24, which has new project/module name "all" which will generate single package/zip containing all other modules targeted output, via Cloud Manager we can only deploy all package.

Here If I want profile based builds for my local/DEV instances which is not AMS/Cloud, i am able to configure Profile based module builds, but how can i configure what to embed in all package in all/pom.xml via profiles?

Any insights?

Sample Project Structure:-

MyProject

      tenant1

            core

            ui.apps

      tenant2

            core

            ui.apps

      tenant2

            core

            ui.apps

      all

Not understanding the question. Shouldn't all module embed both tenant1 and tenant2?

[Shashi_Mulugu]

Ideally yes, But for local development work, if my Super project has 5 tenants, it is waste of resources to build/deploy all package with 5 tenants, is there any way we can embed only ex:tenant2 in all package via command line param/arguments/profiles?

Have you tried adding a "autoInstallPackage" profile to tenant 1 and tenant 2 ui.apps modules, then you can install them separately, instead of trying to embed them in the all package, which has the autoInstallSinglePackage profile

[Shashi_Mulugu]

Yes Kaushal, I did but it is just installing ui.apps but not bundle embed in it as that plugin is being not used with recent archetype.

[kaushal_mall]

23 embeds it, 24 does not. 😞

[Shashi_Mulugu]

Yes.. so what can be better options

[kaushal_mall]

Unfortunately, I think the archetype should go back to embedding the core for each module in it's own ui.apps module and then that should be embedded in all.

[Shashi_Mulugu]

Yes that would be ideal. What is the way forward for such request? We are having a new project proposes to build on aem 6.5.6 and we took Archetype 24 as base.

[kaushal_mall]

I would open an issue on the archetype GH issue, and also do the updates manually on the project.

Thanks Kaushal this helps

This can't be done via profile based embeds in all. Need todo via adding a "autoInstallPackage" profile to tenant 1 and tenant 2 ui.apps modules, then you can install them separately, instead of trying to embed them in the all package, which has the autoInstallSinglePackage profile

But this will not work in archetype 24. Need to submit Github issue.

Thanks @kaushal_mall
