Developer

The Jackrabbit FileVault tool (VLT) is a tool developed by The Apache Foundation that maps the content of a Jackrabbit/AEM instance to your file system. The VLT tool has similar functions as source control system client (such as a Subversion (SVN) client), providing normal check-in, check-out and management operations, and configuration options for flexible representation of the project content.

You run the VLT tool from the command line. This document describes how to use the tool, including how to get started and get help, and a list of all commands and available options.

Concepts and Architecture

See the Filevault Overview and Vault FS page from the official Apache Jackrabbit Filevault documentation for a thorough overview of the concepts and strucure of the Filevault tool.

Getting Started with VLT

To start using VLT, you need to do the following:

Install VLT, update environment variables, and update global ignored subversion files.
Set up the AEM repository (if you have not already done so).
Check out the AEM repository.
Synchronize with the repository.
Test whether the synchronization worked.

Installing the VLT Tool

To use the VLT tool, you first need to install it. It is not installed by default as it is an additional tool. In addition, you need to set your system’s environment variable.

Download the FileVault archive file from the Maven artifact repository.

NOTE
The source of the VLT tool is available on GitHub.

1. Extract the archive.
Add <archive-dir>/vault-cli-<version>/bin to your environment PATH so that the command files vlt or vlt.bat are accessed as appropriate. For example:

<aem-installation-dir>/crx-quickstart/opt/helpers/vault-cli-3.1.16/bin>

Open a command line shell and execute vlt --help. Make sure the output is similar to the following help screen:

vlt --help

Usage:
  vlt [options] <command> [arg1 [arg2 [arg3] ..]]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Global options:

  -Xjcrlog <arg>           Extended JcrLog options (omit argument for help)
  -Xdavex <arg>            Extended JCR remoting options (omit argument for help)
  --credentials <arg>      The default credentials to use
  --update-credentials     if present the credentials-to-host list is updated in the ~/.vault/auth.xml
  --config <arg>           The JcrFs config to use
  -v (--verbose)           verbose output
  -q (--quiet)             print as little as possible
  --version                print the version information and exit
  --log-level <level>      the log4j log level
  -h (--help) <command>    print this help

After you have installed it you need to update global ignored subversion files. Edit your svn settings and add the following:

[miscellany]
### Set global-ignores to a set of whitespace-delimited globs
### which Subversion will ignore in its 'status' output, and
### while importing or adding files and directories.
global-ignores = .vlt

Configuring the End of Line Character

VLT automatically handles End Of Line (EOF) according to the following rules:

lines of files checked out on Windows end with a CRLF
lines of files checked out on Linux/Unix end with a LF
lines of files commited to the repository end with a LF

To guarantee that VLT and SVN configuration match, you should set up the svn:eol-style property to native for the extension of the files stored in the repository. Edit your svn settings and add the following:

[auto-props]
*.css = svn:eol-style=native
*.cnd = svn:eol-style=native
*.java = svn:eol-style=native
*.js = svn:eol-style=native
*.json = svn:eol-style=native
*.xjson = svn:eol-style=native
*.jsp = svn:eol-style=native
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native
*.html = svn:eol-style=native
*.xml = svn:eol-style=native
*.properties = svn:eol-style=native

Checking Out the Repository

Check out the repository using the source control system. In svn, for example, type the following (substituting the URI and path with your repository):

svn co https://svn.server.com/repos/myproject

Synchronizing with the Repository

You need to synchronize filevault with the repository. To do this:

In the command line, navigate to content/jcr_root.
Check out the repository by typing the following (substituting your port number for 4502 and your admin passwords):
vlt --credentials admin:admin co --force http://localhost:4502/crx
NOTE
The credentials have to be specified only once upon your initial checkout. They will then be stored in your home directory inside .vault/auth.xml.

Testing Whether the Synchronization Worked

After you have checked out the repository and synchronized it, you should test to make sure everything functions properly. An easy way to do this is to edit a .jsp file and see whether your changes are reflected after committing the changes.

To test the synchronization:

Navigate to .../jcr_content/libs/foundation/components/text.
Edit something in text.jsp.
See the modified files by typing vlt st
See the changes by typing vlt diff text.jsp
Commit the changes: vlt ci test.jsp.
Reload a page containing a text component and see whether your changes are there.

Getting Help with the VLT Tool

After installing the VLT tool, you can access its Help file from the command line:

vlt --help

For help on a particular command, type the help command followed by the name of the command. For example:

vlt --help export
Usage:
 export -v|-t <arg>|-p <uri> <jcr-path> <local-path>

Description:
  Export the Vault filesystem mounted at <uri> to the local filesystem at <local-path>. An optional <jcr-path> can be specified to export just a sub tree.
  Example:
    vlt export http://localhost:4502/crx /apps/geometrixx myproject

Options:
  -v (--verbose)          verbose output
  -t (--type) <arg>       specifies the export type. either 'platform' or 'jar'.
  -p (--prune-missing)    specifies if missing local files should be deleted.
  <uri>                   mountpoint uri
  <jcr-path>              the jcr path
  <local-path>            the local path

Common Tasks Performed in VLT

The following are some common tasks performed in VLT. For detailed information on each command see the individual commands.

Checking Out a Subtree

If you only want to check out a subtree of the repository for example, /apps/geometrixx, you can do so by typing the following:

vlt co http://localhost:4502/crx/-/jcr:root/apps/geometrixx geo

Doing this creates a new export root geo with a META-INF and jcr_root directory and puts all files below /apps/geometrixx in geo/jcr_root.

Performing a Filtered Checkout

If you have an existing workspace filter and you want to use it for checkout, you can either first create the META-INF/vault directory and place the filter there, or specify it on the command line as follows:

$ vlt co --filter filter.xml http://localhost:4502/crx/-/jcr:root geo

An example filter:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/etc/designs/geometrixx" />
    <filter root="/apps/geometrixx"/>
</workspaceFilter>

Using Import/Export Instead of .vlt Control

You can import and export content between a JCR repository and the local file system without using control files.

To import and export content without using .vlt control:

Initially set up the repository:

$ cd /projects
$ svn mkdir https://svn.server.com/repos/myproject
$ svn co https://svn.server.com/repos/myproject
$ vlt export -v http://localhost:4502/crx /apps/geometrixx geometrixx
$ cd geometrixx/
$ svn add META-INF/ jcr_root/
$ svn ci

Change the remote copy and update JCR:

$ cd /projects/geometrixx
$ vlt -v import http://localhost:4502/crx . /

Change the remote copy and update the file server:

$ cd /projects/geometrixx
$ vlt export -v http://localhost:4502/crx /apps/geometrixx .
$ svn st
M      META-INF/vault/properties.xml
M      jcr_root/apps/geometrixx/components/contentpage/.content.xml
$ svn ci

The --exclude options need to be followed by another option before the <src> and <dst> arguments. For example:

vlt rcp -e ".*\.txt" -r

Sync

Lets you control the vault sync service. Without any arguments this command tries to put the current working directory under sync control. If run within a vlt checkout, it uses the respective filter and host to configure the synchronization. If run outside of a vlt checkout, it registers the current folder for synchronization only if the directory is empty.

Syntax

sync -v|--force|-u <uri> <command> <localPath>

Options


`-v (--verbose)`	verbose output.
`--force`	force certain commands to execute.
`-u (--uri) <uri>`	specifies the URI of the sync host.
`<command>`	sync command to execute.
`<localPath>`	local folder to sync.

Status Codes

The status codes used by VLT are:

’ ’ no modifications
‘A’ Added
‘C’ Conflicted
‘D’ Deleted
‘I’ Ignored
‘M’ Modified
‘R’ Replaced
‘?’ item is not under version control
‘!’ item is missing (removed by non-svn command) or incomplete
‘~’ versioned item obstructed by some item of a different kind

Setting Up FileVault Sync

The vault sync service is used to synchronize repository content with a local filesystem representation and conversely. This is achieved by installing an OSGi service that will listen for repository changes and will scan the filesystem content periodically. It uses the same serialization format as vault for mapping the repository content to disk.

NOTE

The vault sync service is a development tool and it is highly discouraged to use it on a productive system. Also, the service can only sync with the local filesystem and cannot be used for remote development.

Installing the service using vlt

The vlt sync install command can be used to install the vault sync service bundle and configuration automatically.

The bundle is installed below /libs/crx/vault/install and the config node is created at /libs/crx/vault/com.day.jcr.sync.impl.VaultSyncServiceImpl. Initially the service is enabled but no sync roots are configured.

The following example installs the sync service to the CRX instance accessible by the given uri.

$ vlt --credentials admin:admin sync --uri http://localhost:4502/crx install

Displaying the service status

The status command can be used to display information about the running sync service. ``

$ vlt sync status --uri http://localhost:4502/crx
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:4502/crx/server
Listing sync status for http://localhost:4502/crx/server/-/jcr:root
- Sync service is enabled.
- No sync directories configured.

NOTE

The status command does not fetch any live data from the service but rather reads the configuration at /libs/crx/vault/com.day.jcr.sync.impl.VaultSyncServiceImpl.

Adding a sync folder

The register command is used to add a folder to synchronize to the configuration.

$ vlt sync register
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:4502/crx/server
Added new sync directory: /tmp/workspace/vltsync/jcr_root

NOTE

The register command does not trigger a synchronization until you configure the sync-once configuration.

Removing a sync folder

The unregister command is used to remove a folder to synchronize from the configuration.

$  vlt sync unregister
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:4502/crx/server
Removed sync directory: /tmp/workspace/vltsync/jcr_root

NOTE

You have to unregister a sync folder before you delete the folder itself.

Configuring synchronization

Service configuration

Once the service is running it can be configured with the following parameters:

vault.sync.syncroots: One or many local filesystem paths that define the sync roots.
vault.sync.fscheckinterval: Frequency (in seconds) of which the filesystem should be scanned for changes. Default is 5 seconds.
vault.sync.enabled: General flag that enables/disables the service.

NOTE

The service can be configured with the Web console or a sling:OsgiConfig node (with the name com.day.jcr.sync.impl.VaultSyncServiceImpl) in the repository.

When working with AEM, there are several methods of managing the configuration settings for such services; see Configuring OSGi for full details.

Sync folder configuration

Each sync folder stores configuration and status in three files:

.vlt-sync-config.properties: configuration file.
.vlt-sync.log: log file that contains information about the operations performed during syncing.
.vlt-sync-filter.xml: filters that define what portions of the repository are synced. The format of this file is decribed by the Performing a filtered checkout section.

The .vlt-sync-config.properties file lets you configure the following properties:

disabled Turns the synchronization on or off. By default this parameter is set to false to allow the synchronization.

sync-once If non empty the next scan will synchronize the folder in the given direction, then the parameter will be cleared. Two values are supported:

JCR2FS: exports all content in the JCR repository and writes to the local disk.
FS2JCR: imports all content from the disk into the JCR repository.

sync-log Defines the log filename. By default, the value is .vlt-sync.log

Using VLT sync for development

To setup a development environment based on a sync folder proceed as follows:

Checkout your repository with the vlt command line:
$ vlt --credentials admin:admin co --force http://localhost:4502/crx dev
NOTE
You can use filters to only checkout the appropriate paths. See the Performing a filtered checkout section for information.
Go to the root folder of your working copy:
$ cd dev/jcr_root/

Install the sync service to your repository:

$ vlt sync install
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:4502/crx/server
Preparing to install vault-sync-2.4.24.jar...
Updated bundle: vault-sync-2.4.24.jar
Created new config at /libs/crx/vault/config/com.day.jcr.sync.impl.VaultSyncServiceImpl

Initialize the sync service:

$ vlt sync
Connecting via JCR remoting to http://localhost:4502/crx/server
Starting initialization of sync service in existing vlt checkout /Users/colligno/Applications/cq5/vltsync/sandbox/dev/jcr_root for http://localhost:4502/crx/server/-/jcr:root
Added new sync directory: /Users/trushton/Applications/aem/vltsync/sandbox/dev/jcr_root

The directory /Users/trushton/Applications/aem/vltsync/sandbox/dev/jcr_root is now enabled for syncing.
You might perform a 'sync-once' by setting the
appropriate flag in the /Users/trushton/Applications/aem/vltsync/sandbox/dev/jcr_root/.vlt-sync-config.properties file.

Edit the .vlt-sync-config.properties hidden file and configure sync to synchronize the content of your repository:
sync-once=JCR2FS
NOTE
This step downloads the whole repository according to your filter configuration.

Check the log file .vlt-sync.log to see the progress:

Your local folder is now synchronized with the repository. The synchronization is bi-directionnal so modification from the repository will be applied to you local sync folder and conversely.

NOTE

The VLT Sync feature only supports simple files and folders but detects special vault serialized files (.content.xml, dialog.xml, and so on) and ignores them silently. Thus it is possible to use vault sync on a default vlt checkout.
