How to Know It's Working?

You can test if it is working by running command lines like the following example.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/cms/server/default/jcr:root/
          

If successful, you get the following result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sv:node xmlns:sv="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/sv/1.0" sv:name="jcr:root">
  <sv:property sv:name="jcr:primaryType" sv:type="Name">
    <sv:value>rep:root</sv:value>
  </sv:property>
  <sv:property sv:name="jcr:mixinTypes" sv:type="Name" sv:multiple="true">
    <sv:value>mix:referenceable</sv:value>
  </sv:property>
  <sv:property sv:name="jcr:uuid" sv:type="String">
    <sv:value>cafebabe-cafe-babe-cafe-babecafebabe</sv:value>
  </sv:property>
</sv:node>
          

Tip: You can provide credentials like the following:

$ curl --user admin:admin http://localhost:8080/cms/server/default/jcr:root/
