Programmatically get path to CRX Quickstart

[Peter_Puzanovs]

Which OSGi/Sling/AEM API could be used to retrieve file system path to CRX Quickstart folder?

E.g. Get the path to CRX Quickstart folder.

I am not aware of any API in the AEM SDK that would return this value. Whats the need to get this value?

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your reply,

Third party system is uploading their exported data into crx quick start directory.

The need from AEM, is to read archive from crx quickstart directory and insert data into CRX.(OOTB Importer functionality did not satisfy them...).

Would like to avoid hard coding crx quick start location for each environment, instead getting those Programmatically would be beneficial.

Regards,

Peter

I would look at using standard Java file/folder functionality.

That should get the result you need to programmatically locate the AEM QuickStart.

Why don't you make it configurable via OSGI, since its very rare that it will going to changed. 

Once AEM is setup in any environment you can configure the location, it would be one time job.
