How to use loginService(String subServiceName, String workspace) method of SlingRepository Class

[sateesha8038436]

Hi All,

        We are upgrading from 5.4 to 6.1 .

  To get JCR Session we used the below code

          SlingRepository repo = sling.getService(SlingRepository.class);

         Session session = repo.loginAdministrative(null);

Now while upgrading we want to use

loginService(String subServiceName, String workspace)

method of SlingRepository class as loginAdministrative method is deprecated .But we are not able to use it .

 We are using this

          Session session = repo.loginService(null,null);

We don't know what to send for subServiceName argument .

If anyone used this method please mention your code.

Thanks in advance

You can create a dedicated user account for AEM OSGi services to use. Then you can use:

param.put(ResourceResolverFactory.SUBSERVICE, "datawrite");
ResourceResolver resolver = null;

try {
           
    //Invoke the adaptTo method to create a Session used to create a QueryManager
 resolver = resolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver(param);
    session = resolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

This is how you create a session in AEM 6:

As @scott mentioned, you can assign the user for a service and use that credentials to login 

or you can also get session with the respective login like below

Session session = repo.login(new SimpleCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));
