I am new to CQ5. I created a bundle that is configurable via the OSGi console. Now, I need the value that is configured on the console to be returned to my content page. I am not sure how to proceed with this. Looking for any tutorial or help. Thanks in advance.
Assuming the configured value is available via an OSGi service, you can access that service from java code using an #Reference SCR annotation with a suitable build setup to generate the corresponding OSGi metadata. You can also access OSGi services from scripts, in JSP that's done using sling.getService(YourService.class) in a script where you have called or its CQ equivalent.

I am novices to the field of Identity and Access management.
Till now I know, Sail point has provided the some direct connectors to integrate the known systems like LDAP, HR systems, OIM, Databases..
And sailpoint also provided the support for disconnected applications with the use of Custom connectors.
Here, My question is how to develop a custom connector..?
I do not have jar file provided by sailpoint which contain "AbstractConnector" class.
So that I can write my own class and develop..?
I also so not understand, what to do with that class?(if i have a jar)
How sailpoint will refer to that class..
Do we need to deploy that class to somewhere...
Here I am expecting the complete flow to develop and deploy the custom connector..
If anyone is working please help..
If you unzip your identityiq.war, you'll find a JAR file called WEB-INF/lib/connector-bundle.jar. This is the JAR where you'll find AbstractConnector. Once you've written your connector code, you will need to compile it and bundle it into a JAR file, which you will place into WEB-INF/lib.
Finally, you will need to update the ConnectorRegistry object (under Configuration on the debug screen) to reference the new class, which will make it available as an Application type. If it has custom connection parameters (as most do), you will also need an xhtml page that will be embedded into the Sailpoint UI to prompt the user configuring the Application.
If you have Compass access, they have a whitepaper called Custom Connectors that you will find helpful.
All that said, I encourage you to try to find a way to use an out-of-box connector if possible.
Most of the times it will be better if you use the DelimitedFile connector, you can import a CSV of identity data, and make it work within Sailpoint's workflow. You will be able to map fields, correlate accounts and create multi-valued group memberships rapidly. Of course, this means that Sailpoint will not be connected directly to the application, and you will have to develop a workflow to extract the identities and upload them. But at least, you can integrate without going the Custom Connector way.
What is the point of using compiler passes in Symfony?
When we should use Extension class and when Compiler Passes in Symfony?
They come with services definition.
By creating a compiler pass, you are able to update the arguments passed to services.
It's most often done with tagged services.
Also, It can be used for :
Creating new services that require information about other defined services before being defined.
Swapping or adding arguments to a service that you did not write.
Creating and modifying parameters in the container.
I used a compiler pass to register a Factory that make me able to override the doctrine Repository.
You can see the code for more comprehension of how it works:

Update
Thank's to #Sruj, I added the part I've forgotten about the Extension
Extension are part of dependency injection too, especially of the configuration.
Its primary role is to load the configuration of services across the bundles of your application.
Instead of load your configuration manually by using imports, you can create an extension that does it for you. All your services configuration are registered from your bundle and shared in your whole application.
When you register a vendor in your app configuration, the service container extension of the vendor is invoked.
See "Importing configuration via container extensions" part of the documentation
I am working one POC where I want to create plugin based web application. Main application will have all the spring mvc context. Plugins can write spring controllers but they cannot have their own spring context file. What I want is when plugin is installed all its controller is scanned (plugins controller need to be in specific package so for that package component scan will be defined in parent context) and ready to use. I am able achieve the installation part however when I am trying to access bundle/plugin controller end point through rest call I get no mapping found error.
Has anyone tried something like this? It will be great if I can get reference to some example.
Thanks!!!
If you remove the spring part, I've already done this with
a) Apache Wicket and Pax Wicket
b) Vaadin
For a) you might want to look at the Apache Karaf WebConsole.
For b) take a look at this rather "old" showcase of mine.
Both of those showcases use either standard OSGi services or Blueprint for the services (http-services) and the discovery of new "web-components" or views.
My application supports running on many dbms and it requires user to configure dbms connection setting and also provide the jdbc jar file.
Now the application is to be packaged as OSGi bundle. There will be another main jar which lanches OSGi server and starts the application as bundle.
Can you please suggest how can I package the application as bundle and let user provide the jdbc jar file.
Will it require something like the main launcher jar specifying JDBC driver classes as FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES property?
Thanks in advance,
Aman
There are two ways of doing this:
1) Adding the driver.jar to the classpath of the main launcher and, like you say, expose its packages via the framework by specifying that property (or actually you can use the FRAMEWORK_SYSTEMPACKAGES_EXTRA property to just specify additional packages, instead of specifying all of them).
2) Manually wrapping the driver.jar as a bundle, or doing it dynamically at runtime. For example, you could try to wrap bundles that are copied to a certain folder (similar to what Apache Felix File Install does) by using Pax URL or some other tool that can create a bundle out of an ordinary jar file for you (see http://team.ops4j.org/wiki/display/paxurl/Pax+URL).
I am creating a REST service in glassfish (which uses Jersey as the JAX-RS impl.). I want to deploy my service as an OSGI bundle which works fine, I add the "Web-ContextPath:" in the manifest and then use an annotated #javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath application object. This all makes the service usable but then, I want to use container based security. I found I can use security contrains in a web.xml and then do the user-to-role mappings in sun-web.xml. That said, a OSGI bundle does not have either.
Is there a set of annotations and or parameters to the manifest where I can specify application roles, security constrains and role-user mappings (I think the latter can just be globally configured)?
Thanks!
Here's how I would try this:
Use a library that would automatically detect OSGi services with specific annotations, and translate them to REST resources. For Jersey, you could try this: https://github.com/hstaudacher/osgi-jax-rs-connector
Use OSGi embedded application server like jetty (or tomcat) which provides the OSGi HTTP Service implementation.
Configure Jetty/Tomcat. This should be easy now as the Jetty/Tomcat bundles can pick up configurations from the configuration area.
It would also save a lot of time to use Karaf which would do all the packaging related work for you, including providing features like embedded Jetty with externalized configurations, etc. But that's totally up to you.
