Persisting Adobe CQ data in a relational database

You can create an Adobe CQ application that captures data from users and stores the data in either the Java Content Repository (JCR) or other back ends such as a relational database. For example, if your organization uses a relational database such as MySQL, you can create an Adobe CQ application that persists data into MySQL.


Assume that you want to create a CQ application that tracks your customers.


When the end user fills in the CQ web form and clicks the Add Customer button, the customer information is added to the database. The primary key value is returned and displayed in the Customer Id field.

This  development article guides you through the process of creating a CQ web application that captures data from an end user and persists the data into MySQL. To view this entire development article, click this link:
