 Hello Everyone, In this post we will see how we can run our aem server from docker. Before that why we really need docker, whenever we have a new team member, they will struggle for project setup. Now imagine we have a set up file we can share with any new member who is joining our team. They simply can start their work without wasting time on set up or we can directly start giving KT, so using docker we can achieve this we can create a docker image and we can share the image with team members. What is docker image ?

 Hello Everyone, This is about service user/ system user, resource resolver and session.  In AEM if we want to read or write anything from backend we have two APIs Sling/resource API and jcr/node API. if we are using sling/resource api we need to have resources resolver and for jcr/node api we need to have jcr session. To get jcr session we use SlingRespositoy.loginService() and to get resource we use ResourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver() method. Previously with aem if we need resource resolver or session we were using sling methods SlingRepository.loginAdministrative() and ResourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver() but using this method we are getting the admin session sometimes we might not need to have admin session still we are using admin session. Now these methods are deprecated and replaced with SlingRepository.loginService() and ResourceResolverFactory.getServiceResourceResolver() lets see how to use these meth
