AEM Groovy Console

CID 15

Overview

The AEM Groovy Console provides an interface for running Groovy scripts in Adobe Experience Manager. Scripts can be created to manipulate content in the JCR, call OSGi services, or execute arbitrary code using the AEM, Sling, or JCR APIs. After installing the package in AEM (instructions below), see the console page for documentation on the available bindings and methods. Sample scripts are included in the package for reference.

Compatibility

Groovy Console Version(s) AEM Version(s)
17.x.x AEM Cloud
15.x.x, 14.x.x, 13.x.x 6.3, 6.4, 6.5
12.x.x 6.4
11.x.x 6.3
10.x.x, 9.x.x 6.2

7.x.x 6.0
6.x.x, 5.x.x 5.6 (CQ)
3.x.x 5.5, 5.4 (CQ)

Installation

  1. Download the console package. For previous versions, tags can be checked out from GitHub and built directly from the source (e.g. mvn install).

  2. Verify the installation.

Additional build profiles may be added in the project's pom.xml to support deployment to non-localhost AEM servers.

Building From Source

To build and install the latest development version of the Groovy Console (or if you've made source modifications), run the following Maven command.

mvn install -P local

OSGi Configuration

Navigate to the OSGi console configuration page and select the Groovy Console Configuration Service.

Property Description Default Value
Email Enabled? Check to enable email notification on completion of script execution. false
Email Recipients Email addresses to receive notification. []
Script Execution Allowed Groups List of group names that are authorized to use the console. By default, only the 'admin' user has permission to execute scripts. []
Scheduled Jobs Allowed Groups List of group names that are authorized to schedule jobs. By default, only the 'admin' user has permission to schedule jobs. []
Audit Disabled? Disables auditing of script execution history. false
Display All Audit Records? If enabled, all audit records (including records for other users) will be displayed in the console history. false
Thread Timeout Time in seconds that scripts are allowed to execute before being interrupted. If 0, no timeout is enforced. 0

Batch Script Execution

Saved scripts can be remotely executed by sending a POST request to the console servlet with either the scriptPath or scriptPaths query parameter.

Single Script

curl -d "scriptPath=/var/groovyconsole/scripts/samples/JcrSearch.groovy" -X POST -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/bin/groovyconsole/post.json

Multiple Scripts

curl -d "scriptPaths=/var/groovyconsole/scripts/samples/JcrSearch.groovy&scriptPaths=/var/groovyconsole/scripts/samples/FulltextQuery.groovy" -X POST -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/bin/groovyconsole/post.json

Extensions

The Groovy Console provides extension hooks to further customize script execution. The console provides an API containing extension provider interfaces that can be implemented as OSGi services in any bundle deployed to an AEM instance. See the default extension providers in the org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.extension.impl package for examples of how a bundle can implement these services to supply additional script bindings, compilation customizers, metaclasses, and star imports.

Service Interface Description
org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.api.BindingExtensionProvider Customize the bindings that are provided for each script execution.
org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.api.CompilationCustomizerExtensionProvider Restrict language features (via blacklist or whitelist) or provide AST transformations within the Groovy script compilation.
org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.api.ScriptMetaClassExtensionProvider Add runtime metaclasses (i.e. new methods) to the underlying script class.
org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.api.StarImportExtensionProvider Supply additional star imports that are added to the compiler configuration for each script execution.

Notifications

To provide custom notifications for script executions, bundles may implement the org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.notification.NotificationService interface (see the org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.notification.impl.EmailNotificationService class for an example). These services will be dynamically bound by the Groovy Console service and all registered notification services will be called for each script execution.

Scheduler

The Scheduler allows for immediate (asynchronous) or Cron-based script execution. Scripts are executed as Sling Jobs and are audited in the same manner as scripts executed in the console.

Scheduled Job Event Handling

Bundles may implement services extending org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.job.event.AbstractGroovyConsoleScheduledJobEventHandler to provide additional post-processing or notifications for completed Groovy Console jobs. See org.cid15.aem.groovy.console.job.event.DefaultGroovyConsoleEmailNotificationEventHandler for an example of the required annotations to register a custom event handler.

Sample Scripts

Sample scripts can be found in the src/main/scripts directory.
