How to create mixed media sets programmatically in aem?

Question

Hi,We have a requirement in our project to create the mixed media set programmatically for the files having similar file names of 13 digits. There' already imagesets create automatically. Similar way we need to try for mixed media set if there's images and videos having same 13 digits add it to the mixed media set. Is it possible to create mixedmedia sets programmatically?

We have found alternate API which is more suitable for automating mixed media set and it's working as expected. Below are the details:

SetHelper class has createSet api to create the set resource
and then updateSet api to add members to it as well as generate thumbnails these are all the set types we can pass in it

            S7damConstants.S7_IMAGE_SET,
            S7damConstants.S7_SPIN_SET,
            S7damConstants.S7_SWATCH_SET,
            S7damConstants.S7_MIXED_MEDIA_SET,
            S7damConstants.S7_VIDEO_SET,
            S7damConstants.S7_CAROUSEL_SET

it supports thumbnail generation as well

Implementing using this method is creating the mixedmediaset automatically and adding the members from imageset, spinset and video.

Thanks,

Hi @keerthana_h_n ,

You can try using the Java Content Repository (JCR) API for creating mixed media sets programmatically. JCR API allows you to perform CRUD operations programmatically so using that you can create the nodes corresponding to the mixed media sets programmatically.

Please refer to the below code as a sample :

import javax.jcr.Node;
import javax.jcr.Repository;
import javax.jcr.Session;
import javax.jcr.SimpleCredentials;

import org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils;

public class MixedMediaSetCreator {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String aemInstanceUrl = "http://localhost:4502"; // Replace with your AEM instance URL
        String username = "admin"; // Replace with a valid AEM username
        String password = "admin"; // Replace with the password for the AEM user

        createMixedMediaSet(aemInstanceUrl, username, password);
    }

    public static void createMixedMediaSet(String aemInstanceUrl, String username, String password) {
        Session session = null;
        try {
            // Establish a connection to the AEM repository
            Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository(aemInstanceUrl);
            session = repository.login(new SimpleCredentials(username, password.toCharArray()));

            // Specify the path where you want to create the mixed media set
            String mixedMediaSetPath = "/content/mixed-media-sets/my-mixed-media-set";

            // Create the node for the mixed media set
            Node mixedMediaSetNode = session.getNode(mixedMediaSetPath);

            // Set properties for the mixed media set
            mixedMediaSetNode.setProperty("jcr:title", "My Mixed Media Set");
            mixedMediaSetNode.setProperty("jcr:description", "This is a sample mixed media set.");
            mixedMediaSetNode.setProperty("tags", new String[] {"tag1", "tag2"});

            // Add references to assets in the mixed media set
            mixedMediaSetNode.setProperty("assets", new String[] {
                    "/content/dam/assets/image1.jpg",
                    "/content/dam/assets/image2.jpg",
                    "/content/dam/assets/video1.mp4"
            });

            // Save the changes
            session.save();

            System.out.println("Mixed media set created successfully!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (session != null) {
                session.logout();
            }
        }
    }
}
