How to create pages using curl command in CQ / WEM

Use Case For testing (If you are trying to capture certain events or testing something in MSM)

Solution There are various way of creating pages using curl command in CQ Some of them are as follows

1) curl -u admin:admin –F cmd="createPage" -F label="" -F parentPath="/content/geometrixx/en/company" -F template="/apps/geometrixx/templates/contentpage" -F title="new page" http://localhost:4502/bin/wcmcommand

2) curl -u admin:admin -F "jcr:primaryType=cq:Page" -F "jcr:content/jcr:primaryType=cq:PageContent" -F "jcr:content/jcr:title=New Page" -F "jcr:content/sling:resourceType=geometrixx/components/contentpage" http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en/page

3) curl --data jcr:primaryType=cq:page --user admin:admin http://<host>:<port>/content/geometrixx/en/toolbar/test3

And then

curl --data jcr:primaryType=PageContent --user admin:admin http://<host>:<port>/content/geometrixx/en/toolbar/test3/jcr:content


You can also use JAVA code to create pages in CQ.

    Hi Yogesh.
    Is there a similar way to create and maintain users/groups/permissons using curl?
    I've been trying to do this using the examples from the Apache Sling homepage, but I get a number of error messages each time.

    Did you check http://forums.adobe.com/message/4031201
    And http://sling.apache.org/site/managing-users-and-groups-jackrabbitusermanager.html

    You need appropriate bundle for this to work

    Or try

    curl -u admin:admin -F:status=browser -F_charset_=UTF-8 -Frep:password=test -Frep:userId=yogeshTest -FgivenName=yogesh -FfamilyName=upadhyay http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/security/authorizables/POST

      Sorry for replying late .. was really busy ... You can use [1] or [2] .. let me know if that helps

      [1] curl -u admin:admin -F cmd="Activate" -F path="some page path" http://localhost:4502/bin/replicate.json

      [2] curl -u admin:admin -F cmd=activate -F ignoredeactivated=true -F onlymodified=true -F path= http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/treeactivation.html

    I'm trying to add a replication agent on the author and getting a response of:

    Method POST not supported (405)
    The requested URL /bin/wcmcommand resulted in an error in com.day.cq.wcm.core.impl.commands.WCMCommandServlet.

    This is the command that I'm sending:

    curl -u admin:admin –F cmd="createPage" -F label="publish22" -F title="publish22" -F parentPath="/etc/replication/agents.author" -F template="/libs/cq/replication/templates/agent" https://author.hostname.com/bin/wcmcommand

      Sujeet,

      You can also do that using CURL or form post see http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html for example.

    Sujeet,

    For curl please see http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html it comes with any Unix based system. For windows you can use something like Wget to do same thing.

      You can not use PageManager Jar file outside CQ Context. You have to use CURL service or jackrabbit API. In case you have to find dependency within CQ context for pom.xml then you can use http://HOST:PORT/system/console/depfinder and put your package name.

    Hi Yogesh,

    Thanks for the post.

    How we do pass DATA TYPE of property using CURL command or a MULTI VALUE property

    For example:
    I have a MULTI VALUE property whose type in CRX is appearing as "String[]"

    How do we do this using CURL. What should I write in CURL command to specify this. Currently by default CURL sets the data type as "String" for everything.

      Please check http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html either you can use multiple value for same property or TypeHint

  15. RohitJanuary 29, 2015 at 5:54 PM

    Yogesh,

    You are simply awsome !

    Yes TypeHint works like charm. Also using TypeHint we can specify the DATATYPE too.

    So if I give below parameter with Boolean[] it create multi value
    -F "jcr:content/myVar@TypeHint=Boolean[]"

    and if I remove [] then it creates single value property
    -F "jcr:content/myVar@TypeHint=Boolean"

    Example Command:
    1) MULTI VALUE

    curl -u admin:admin -F "jcr:primaryType=cq:Page" -F "jcr:content/jcr:primaryType=cq:PageContent" -F "jcr:content/myVar@TypeHint=Boolean[]" -F "jcr:content/myVar=true" -F "jcr:content/sling:resourceType=geometrixx/components/contentpage" http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en/rohit2

    2) SINGLE VALUE

    curl -u admin:admin -F "jcr:primaryType=cq:Page" -F "jcr:content/jcr:primaryType=cq:PageContent" -F "jcr:content/myVar@TypeHint=Boolean" -F "jcr:content/myVar=true" -F "jcr:content/sling:resourceType=geometrixx/components/contentpage" http://localhost:4502/content/geometrixx/en/rohit2
