How can I add a published property on to an asset node?

[LB_PC]

Hi, 

I know that the lastpublished and lastpublishedby properties are not used any more so I was wondering how can I set a custom property that says if a asset is unpublished or published?

Thank you for the help!

Hi @LB_PC 

You can write a Replication PreProcessor and add the custom property to any assets that you replicate.

Please refer the sample code here.

Thanks!

Thanks I'll take a look.

@LB_PC  May be I'm missing something in your question but you still have below properties set which you can refer to:

cq:lastReplicated

cq:lastReplicatedBy

cq:lastReplicationAction

[LB_PC]

Is the cq:lastReplicated essentially telling if it has been published?

[shelly-goel]

cq:lastReplicated hs the date of publication, cq:lastReplicationAction tells if it is published or unpublished

You should not do that, because these properties are an implementation detail of AEM, and are only set by the replication (subsystem). 

Why do you need to set the replication state from your own code?
