I need to study about JCR and AEM. But i'm unable to find resources. Anyone send me the best related url?
I guess, in all cases Adobe docs will be the best resource to study everything connected with AEM. Here you can find introduction to AEM, best practices in developing using AEM and find a powerful docs about AEM

Background: We're creating an offer for an Xamarin app for a customer, which is using AEM to manage a lot of content. We are not experienced with AEM, therefore I have the task to find the possibilities regarding a Web connection and how deep into AEM we need to interfere, to get the desired data.
Usually, I would never ask such a general question here, but after some hours of research, I didn't find any hint regarding a public API:
I've started a chat with an Adobe employee, but he told me, that he
can't help me regarding technical questions
I've analyzed the AEM architcture, finding Sling being a Web API
(https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/querying-experience-manager-sling.html), but it also just Java
I've also found AEM Assets (https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/assets/user-guide.html),but analyzing it, it seems like this is more like a Web App on top of AEM
I've also found Web APIs in AEM Screens,
https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/developing/using/developing-screens-rest-api.html, but the architecture here seems also very tightly coupled between the UI and the Web APIs
So, my question: Is there just no Web API at all? Or is one of the subproducts of AEM the endpoint, we could use to get data?
Based on the fact that you mentioned Xamarin I guess you are supposed to work on a mobile app.
You basically have four options, if you want to build that using AEM:
Use the Single Page Application (SPA) capabilities of AEM (requires AEM 6.4):
Use the (legacy) PhoneGap capabilities of AEM.
Use the out-of-the-box Sling APIs to expose the data you need and use them in your Xamarin app.
Write a custom (web service) API and use that in your Xamarin app.
I would strongly suggest to have a look at the SPA support or PhoneGap capabilities if you are not running AEM 6.4.
Working with the Sling API or building your own API is not the best option if you are new to AEM. There are so many pitfalls that will cause you a lot of headaches and you run the risk of creating an unmaintainable mess of an AEM project.
I want to design System API which is going to connect with REST service using RAML for Healthcare domain.
Backend Rest service will have GET/POST requests.
GET/POST request will usually serve getCollection/getById/getByName.
How can I start approaching designing RAML?
Which is the best and standard way to do it?
anyone can help me with the below items.
The naming convention used to name for Process/System/Experience API's.
URI design
any other architectural suggestions if you want to add.
Thanks,
Vijay D
Regarding RAML I would suggest below tutorials are very useful and are well explained with exmaples
https://raml.org/developers/raml-100-tutorial
https://raml.org/developers/raml-200-tutorial
You can also look at raml spec at below url
https://github.com/raml-org/raml-spec/blob/master/versions/raml-10/raml-10.md
Regarding naming convention and design. These are quite broad topics. I would suggest below book which is available from mulesoft to download is a good place to start.

I want to host restful webservice from CQ5. Basically the intention is to expose all the users present in CQ5 to external systems based on some parameters like modified date, user state etc.
I went through https://chanchal.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/using-jax-rs-and-jersey-to-write-restful-services-in-osgi-apache-felix-adobe-cq5aem/ as I could find only this post online, but as I am a beginner I couldn't implement it. Need guidance in implementing such RESTful webservice in CQ5
CQ5 is based on Apache Sling which is inherently RESTful, so you don't usually need additional libraries. In your case (and unless the users info is already available as Sling resources, I don't remember if that's the case) implementing a Sling ResourceProvider is enough to provide a browseable RESTful representation of those resources. See the Sling docs for more info, they point to a simple PlanetResourceProvider as a minimal example.
Couldn't get the REST webservices working with AEM/CQ5. Even after installing the packages for JAXB for CQ5. It seems like sling overrides the resolving before it goes to the JAXB annotation handler. Due to lack to time had to implement an alternative approach where CQ5 will be timely writing the json data to an shared location as json file and the third party applications will fetch the files from there.
This will however impact the performace as schedulers are to be written and also it's not a recommended approach but still it will work in my scenario.
Thanks all for helping me.
I have developed one spring based java web application. In my project it is requirement to use alfresco as a CMS. For this I want to integrate this application with alfresco. So I decided to use alfresco java API's.
http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/docs/java/
But I am not getting how to use those API's to complete backend work of my web application. Suppose I would like to submit one form having user name & password fields in it. After click on submit button how can I handle request in backend so it will use Alfresco java API to process request and store details in database.
I have to do many operations in my project like upload file, play with documents, Submit different forms. view those forms etc.
My first question is am I going in right direction by using alfresco java API's. if yes then how can use those API? is there any other way to do this?
Any help would be appreciate!!!
Thanks in Advance,
Kailas Salunke.
Well, based on my experience, Alfresco is an excellent ECM but not suitable for being a CMS.
Apart from that, it is difficult to give suggestions, starting from the very general overview you have given, but things like user name and password have little to do with an ECM and storing of data in a database.
You have two options available.
One involve using the Web Content Management Quick Start, it's a Spring Surf app you can (not easily in my opinion) customize for your needs.
The other solutions, if you have an existing web app, rather than develop your own API have a look at CMIS, I have put a simple wikipedia explanation, you can dig further from there.
Then, when you are ready, have a look at Alfresco CMIS first, and the most used Java API for doing CMIS call, which is Apache Chemistry
CMIS, in its intent, guarantee that Alfresco could be replaced with any other CMIS compliant ECM. You can easily integrate Apache Chemistry in your Spring app.
I am new to Adobe CQ. I knew it uses Apache Sling framework. Apache Sling is RESTful framework to access a java content repository over http protocol. Can any one tell me with examples on how restful service is being used in CQ?
Thanks
Did you read the documentation already? A good and quick start is the Sling Cheatsheet.
Regarding to CQ and the underlying JCR repository, each resource in the repository is represented as a path. You can access this resource by different means. If we start with the example projects (geometrixx in different characteristics) you can call for example /content/geometrixx/en.html
The extension html will render the resource as a html page whereas the markup is defined in a JSP. But you can also call /content/geometrixx/en.json or /content/geometrixx/en.xml to get a JSON or XML representation of this resource. You can also add selectors: In the JSON example you can call /content/geometrixx/en.5.json to get the hierarchy of this node up until level 5.
I strongly advice to check out the sling documentation and if you still struggle with something ask a more precise question or better search for it as there are already some problems explained.
