NEBA Directive: a sample application for the NEBA framework for Apache Sling

This project demonstrates core concepts and features of the NEBA framework for Sling. It provides a demonstrative mini-CMS application for the beautiful responsive directive template set by http://html5up.net. The application was created as part of a presentation of the 2015 .adaptTo conference in Berlin, Germany.

What this sample application is

This application demonstrates how NEBA can be used to model resources in Sling and use Spring's MVC features for Apache Sling.

What this sample application is not

A ready-to-use CMS / web application. It has purely been designed to demonstrate NEBA features.

How to run this application

1. If you don't have a Sling instance to experiment with, download the Sling 7 Standalone Application from the official download page. Then, run the standalone jar using JDK 8 - this will install and start sling, e.g. with debugging on port 30303 using java.exe -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=30303 -Xmx1700m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar. Handy hint: Tail the error.log in sling/logs - this is the best way to see what is happening under the hood.
2. Install the NEBA Sling delivery bundle from http://neba.io/download.html, install and activate it.
3. Clone this repo and run mvn install sling:install - this will install the application to a sling instance at localhost:8080
4. Open http://localhost:8080/adaptto.html.
5. You may login with any sling user, e.g. using admin/admin for the default administrative account.
