CRXDR Lite with non-AEM servers?

[Bruce Edge]

A lot of the sling related docs I find are centered around using CRXDE Lite. Is there any way to use this with a sling launchpad build?

It doesn't like the base sling URL at the CRXDE login dialog, but perhaps I'm using the wrong URL.

I'm not sure anyone wears an AEM hat here ;-) but from what you
describe you might want to remount the SlingDavExServlet to what CRXDE
Lite expects.

There¹s some lore there that I¹d like to understand better regarding the
AEM/sling relationship. There¹s a number of Adobe employees on this list,
yet, you imply it¹s unlikely that anyone uses AEM. Is this because AEM is
a product layered on top of sling and this list focuses specifically on
the underlying infrastructure?

From what I¹ve read, CRXDE appeared to be a JCR utility toolkit at some
point that was swallowed by Adobe and is now only available as part of
AEM. Many of the CRXDE doc link are broken and point to some top level
adobe product page.

Specifically, I was looking for examples of integration between AngularJS
and sling and came across the AEM post [1] that uses CRXDE as a starting
point. This is not an isolated case so understanding the AEM/sling
relationship would help one determine the applicability of all these
AEM-specific examples.

AFAICT it looks like CRXDE attempts a login on server:port. Is there a
WebDAV requirement as well?

Yes, exactly. We're being very careful to keep Sling and the Sling
lists independent of AEM, as we want Sling to be usable independently,
and also as it is very important for the Apache Software Foundation to
keep its projects independent from corporate influence.

Questions about CRXDE are best asked on the AEM help forum in general,
unless you can reduce your issue to a Sling-specific one that's
welcome here.

Note that Sandro Boehme recently contributed his JCR editor to Sling,
at contrib/explorers/resourceeditor, so there's concrete hope of
getting a full-blown editor in Sling.

Yes, after adding tests I will work on making properties editable.

To just try out the current version of the Resource Editor you can add
the following OBR to your repository
http://www.jcrbrowser.org/sling/obr/repository.xml
and install the Apache Sling Resource Editor
(org.apache.sling.resource-editor) from the OSGi Repository in the Sling
Web Console.
You then find the Resource Editor at:
http://localhost:8080/reseditor/.html

Best,

Sandro
