Dear All,

 

I have added conf folder in my ui.apps , as shown in below.

And also I have updated my filter.xml file as below.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
<filter root="/apps/sunitaproject"/>
<filter root="/conf/sunitaproject"/>
</workspaceFilter>

 

But when I am running my ui.apps , then I am getting below error.

 

Filter root's ancestor '/conf' is not covered by any of the specified dependencies.

Hi,

Do you mean that when you build your ui.apps module, you are not seeing the /conf/<project> deployed to AEM instance? Can you please show more logs here?

In the AEM Maven archetype 22 there is a module called repository-structure. The module's description says it all:

Empty package that defines the structure of the Adobe Experience Manager repository the Code packages in this project deploy into.
Any roots in the Code packages of this project should have their parent enumerated in the Filters list below.

You have to define the /conf as "root":

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>
<artifactId>filevault-package-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<properties>
<cloudManagerTarget>none</cloudManagerTarget>>
</properties>
<filters>

<!-- /apps root -->
<filter><root>/apps</root></filter>

<!-- Common overlay roots -->
<filter><root>/apps/sling</root></filter>
<filter><root>/apps/cq</root></filter>
<filter><root>/apps/dam</root></filter>
<filter><root>/apps/wcm</root></filter>
<filter><root>/apps/msm</root></filter>

<!-- Immutable context-aware configurations -->
<filter><root>/apps/settings</root></filter>

<filter><root>/conf</root></filter>
</filters>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Now building the view (or ui.apps) module in which /conf is treated like a code folder, e.g. for editable templates, the Maven build will work with no errors.

 

Thanks

Hi Shaileshb584084 ,

 

Whatever the solution you provided is not a valid solution. After implementing this solution when I am build myproject it is deleting all other conf folders in my Local.

 

Before build the screenshot is below.

After putting the <filter><root>/conf</root></filter> in ui.apps/pom.xml my all the folder from conf is deleting , as shown below.

Hi,

 

Can you try adding <filter><root>/conf/yourprojectfolder</root></filter>? I think this shouldn't delete anything under /conf but just deploy <yourprojectfolder> to /conf.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Could you please let us know any specific reason to place under apps?

Hi..Yes client wants to put conf under apps only. Not in content

I would suggest to move conf inside ui.content package.

Hi Arun, We also suggested same to client to move to UI.content package..But client wants in ui.apps only and for that I am struggling.

@dipu2 

for a working example, start a new aem project using the aem maven archteype. next, build the code. Check /content/conf/my-project, and you should see the default settings as applied. Following the best practice for how to store /conf in the code, the aem maven archetype project is storing these configuration in the ui.content maven module; because this content is intended for content changes. Once your new AEM project builds successfully into your local, you will use the new aem archtype project, and pretty much mimic how everything is setup.

I hope this helps,

Brian.

Hi @dipu2 

It is recommended to manage the /conf changes as part of "content" package rather than "apps" package as it includes configurations/ editable templates which is mutable and runtime writable areas whereas "apps" package manages code i.e. /apps or /libs which are immutable and cannot be changed at runtime after AEM deployment.

While it's preferable to keep code and content separate, if you still want to move a specific /conf folder to apps package and using latest archetype 24, it will involve below changes:

1. Add "validRoots" section under filevault-package-maven-plugin in ui.apps pom.xml

<jackrabbit-filter>
<options>
<validRoots>/conf</validRoots>
</options>
</jackrabbit-filter>

2. filter.xml to have specific filter root for your folder with mode "merge" (so that existing content under it is not overwritten)

<filter root="/conf/<yourfolder>" mode="merge"/>

Hope this helps.
