Hi  All,

My sling servlet is not working as soon as i add

@Reference in it, otherwise it works fine

Below is the servlet code, i have create custom configuration as per the AEM6.4 standards(one @Interface class, one Interface class, one Impl class with proper annotations(org.osgi.service.component.annotations))

@Component(service = Servlet.class,

property = { Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=Simple Demo Servlet",

"sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_GET,

"sling.servlet.paths=" + "/bin/testservlet" }

)

public class TestServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {

  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

 

  @Reference

  MySimpleService mySimpleService;

 

  private static final Logger logger =

  LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestServlet.class);

 

  @Override

  protected void doGet(final SlingHttpServletRequest req, final

  SlingHttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {

  logger.info("Inside doGet!!!");

  try {

  logger.info("Name ::: "+mySimpleService.getMyName());

  resp.getWriter().write(mySimpleService.getMyName()); }

  catch(Exception ex) {

  logger.error("Error in  doGet ::: ", ex);

  }

  }

}

 

Please advise, any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Pradeep

    Look at our SOLR Article. This one closely matches your requirement. We have a class named MySimpleService that reads OSGi config values.

    In the Servlet in this article - we use a @Refence to get config values:

    @Reference

        SolrServerConfiguration solrConfigurationService;

    This shows the proper way of getting OSGI configuration information within an AEM Servlet. Never try and read OSGI config information directly from a servlet. Write a separate class - as shown in this development article.

    Adobe Experience Manager Help | Integrating SOLR with Adobe Experience Manager 6.4

    Hope this clear this issue up. Notice the Java code in this Servlet. We use the CONFIG values to perform SOLR actions - such as getting the URL to the SOLR server.

                final String protocol = solrConfigurationService.getSolrProtocol();

            final String serverName = solrConfigurationService.getSolrServerName();

            final String serverPort = solrConfigurationService.getSolrServerPort();

            final String coreName = solrConfigurationService.getSolrCoreName();

            final String pagesResourcePath = solrConfigurationService

    I would go through this entire article so you understand.

    Hope this helps you.

    Do you mean when you have this line of code:

    @Reference

      MySimpleService mySimpleService;

    Its not working?

    Hi,

    Could you please check if your bundle is active or not? If yes the check if you using osgi reference annotation. e.g.

    import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Reference;

    e.g.

    aem63app-repo/GetFeaturesServlet.java at master · arunpatidar02/aem63app-repo · GitHub

      Yes, If I add @Reference sling servlet stopped working. It is in unsatisfied state due to the reference.

      Yes, My bundle is in active state, and servlet is unsatisfied state due to @Reference

      In your service class MySimpleService  check the @component annotation:

      @Component(service = MySimpleService.class, immediate = true)

      Go to http://localhost:4502/system/console/components and search for MySimpleService . Check the status of the service.

      Hi Donald,

      Below is my entire code

      import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.AttributeDefinition;

      import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.ObjectClassDefinition;

      @ObjectClassDefinition(name = "My Service Configuration", description = "Service Configuration")

      public @interface CustomConfigIntf {

      @AttributeDefinition(name = "Test Namel", defaultValue="Pradeep", description = "Read my name")

          String name();

      }

      public interface MySimpleService {

      public String getName();

      }

      import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Activate;

      import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;

      import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.ConfigurationPolicy;

      import org.osgi.service.metatype.annotations.Designate;

      @Component(service=MySimpleService.class, configurationPolicy=ConfigurationPolicy.REQUIRE)

      @Designate(ocd = CustomConfigIntf.class)

      public class MySimpleServiceImpl implements MySimpleService {

      private CustomConfigIntf config;

         

          private String name;

          @Activate

          public void activate(CustomConfigIntf config) {

              this.config = config;

              this.name = config.name();

          }

          public String getName() {

              return this.name;

          }

          

      }

      Let me know where i am doing wrong?

      @Referencce is not working in servlet.

      Thanks,

      Pradeep

      See this article - where we used @Reference in a SLing Servlet:

      Hi Donald,

      My requirement is to read custom configuration properties from osgi console in sling servlet using AEM6.4 SP2.

      The example you shared is just to define and use the class in @Reference. I didn't find any custom configuration.

      Thanks,

      Pradeep
