How to create content node from Java Servlet on AEM 6.3 ?

[RobertBailey201]

Hi All,

How can I create a new content node (or edit an existing content node) from a Java Servlet on AEM 6.3 ?

I have attached below the Servlet source code.

Thank you for your time and best regards.

import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolver;

import org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingSafeMethodsServlet;

@Component(service=Servlet.class,
           property={
                   Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=Simple Demo Servlet",
                   "sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_GET,
                   "sling.servlet.paths="+ "/bin/TestCreateNodeServlet"
           })
public class TestCreateNodeServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet
{
    private ResourceResolver resourceResolver;
    private Resource resource;
    private PrintWriter responseWriter;
    @Override
    protected void doGet(final SlingHttpServletRequest request, final SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
    {
        try
        {
            response.setContentType("text/plain");
            resourceResolver = request.getResourceResolver();
            resource = request.getResource();  
            responseWriter = response.getWriter();
            write("Version 2018-Sept-07.1");
            write(resourceResolver.toString());
            write(resource.toString());
            Node node = resource.adaptTo(Node.class); 
            write(node.toString());
            //resourceResolver.create(arg0, arg1, arg2)
        }
        catch (final Exception e)
        {
            write("ERROR: " + e.getMessage() + " , " + e.getClass());
        }
    }
    /**
     * Write message to Response Writer.
     */
    private void write(final String message)
    {
        if (responseWriter != null)
        {
            responseWriter.println("TestCreateNodeServlet: " + message);
        }
    }
}

Hi,

Please use JCR NODE API to create/modify nodes using servlet.

Node (Content Repository for Java Technology API Version 2.0)

You can adapt to Node from request like below:

Resource resource = request.getResourceResolver().getResource("nodePath"); 

Node node = resource.adaptTo(Node.class);

Use JCR API to perform the node addition/modification.

Also you can refer below discussion:

write to JCR from JSON data

Sample :

Resource resource = request.getResourceResolver().getResource("nodePath");

Session session = resource.adaptTo(Session.class);

Node node = session.getNode(resource.getPath());

            node.addNode("test");

            session.save();

            session.logout();
