The purpose of this tutorial is create a component for AEM that will send an email and then display a confirmation message. This is accomplished by using the ACS AEM Commons Email API. The ACS AEM Commons package adds a lot of features to the out of the box AEM implementation. For the purpose of this tutorial we will be creating the component in crxde lite. This tutorial does not go into full detail, but does provide all of the code that was used in the creation of this component for learning purposes.

Lets get started -

The purpose of this tutorial is to develop a component for AEM, which will allow you to display 3D models. This is accomplished by loading in an X3D file and then displaying it on your webpage. For this tutorial we will be creating the component in crxde lite. This tutorial does not go into full detail, but does provide all of the code that was used in the creation of this component for learning purposes.

While reading through some AEM forums, I came across this tutorial called “Creating Java Swing applications that posts files to AEM ClientLibs folder”. 

Here is a link to the tutorial: Swing Tutorial

The tutorial walks you through creating an application that will upload a Text, CSS, or JavaScript file to a file path that you specify in the application.

Once you do this, then you need to create an OSGI bundle that contains a Swing Servlet. After this is done, you just upload the bundle to the Felix Console, start the bundle, and then you can run your application to start uploading files.

I thought this was great tool because it is a nice alternative to getting local files into AEM without having to use CRXDE.

Here are some tips if you run through the tutorial: 

The tutorial states that it was tested on 5.5 and 5.6. I ran through the tutorial using AEM 6.0, and it worked fine, so you are welcome to try it out with that version.

When you are creating the Swing application, it has you create some image icons, and reference images in a image folder. You can upload your own images to your project and update the file path to those images. The application will work fine without the images, but it adds a nice look to the application.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone, and say thank you for visiting my blog. I am new to blogging, so I am hoping to get into the swing of things, and I am able to post some content on a regular basis. I plan to post my first tutorial later today, and I hope you all find it useful.
