ConfigFactory in AEM

ConfigFacotry.java

package wemblog.configfactory.test

@Component(configurationFactory = true, metatype = true)

@Service(value = MyCustomService.class)

public Class WemBlogFactory implements WemBlogService{

@Property(label="Test Property",name="test", description="This is test property example", value="test")
 private String test;


 @Activate
  protected void activate(final Map<String, Object> config) {

     this.test = PropertiesUtil.toString(config.get("test","some default");

}

}

 
Once you define a class with configfactory you can now create multiple configuration using this. For example for above use case you can now create multiple configurations like,

 

wemblog.configfactory.test.WemBlogFactory-Test1.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
    test="Test1">

 

wemblog.configfactory.test.WemBlogFactory-Test2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
    test="Test2">
