Install and start CQ5 WCM. See the section called “How to Install CQ WCM Author and Publish Instances using Quickstart” for further information.

Create a mount point in the repository.

1. Open the CRX explorer.

2. Create /etc/mnt/dam (see the code sample in step 7.b). The new nodes /mnt and /dam should be of type sling:Folder.

3. With Mixins... add mix:referenceable to /etc/mnt/dam.

Integrate CQ DAM functionality.

1. Copy the file crx-quickstart/opt/examples/extensions/contentfinder/dam.js to /libs/wcm/extensions/contentfinder by using WebDAV.

2. Stop CQ5.

Enable RMI in the CRX used by CQ DAM.

1. Open <CQDAM_HOME>/server/runtime/0/_crx/WEB-INF/web.xml.

2. Configure the RMI configuration for the Repository Servlet; set the port to 8303.

   <!--
       RMI configuration
   -->
   <init-param>
       <param-name>rmi-port</param-name>
       <param-value>8303</param-value>
       <description>The RMI port for registering the repository in the RMI Registry. 
                    If equals 0, the default port is used. Omit this parameter to  
                    disable RMI server entirely.
       </description>
   </init-param>

Configure CQ DAM as the virtual repository for CQ5 WCM.

	Note
	CQ DAM has an issue if it is installed in a path containing space characters. In such a case you have to add the JVM Property -Djava.rmi.server.useCodebaseOnly=true as the first parameter to CQ5, when DAM is mounted as a virtual repository in CQ5.

1. Open <CQ5_HOME>/server/runtime/0/_crx/WEB-INF/web.xml.

2. In the Repository Servlet definition replace the following (either comment out, or remove):

   <servlet-class>com.day.crx.j2ee.CRXRepositoryStartupServlet</servlet-class>

   with the following configuration:

   <servlet-class>com.day.crx.mount.virtual.VirtualRepositoryStartupServlet</servlet-class>
         <init-param>
            <param-name>primaryWorkspace</param-name>
            <param-value>crx.default</param-value>
         </init-param>
        
         <!-- virtual DAM repository -->
         <init-param>
             <param-name>mount.crx.default@rmi://127.0.0.1:8303/crx</param-name>
             <param-value>/etc/mnt/dam</param-value>
         </init-param>

   	Note
   	Make sure that: the port in rmi://127.0.0.1:8303 matches the port used in step 5.b (Enable RMI in the CRX used by CQ DAM). the mount point /etc/mnt/dam matches that specified in step 2.b (Create a mount point in the repository).

Start CQ5.
