Hi @kjj ,

Yes, the com.day.cq.contentsync.handler.util.RequestResponseFactory class is deprecated in AEM. The recommended substitute for this class is to use the org.apache.sling.api.request.RequestResponseFactory interface instead. To obtain an instance of the RequestResponseFactory interface, you can use the org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest object.

      Hi @kjj 

      What is the reason you are using "RequestResponseFactory" API, I suggest if it is just to create request , you can get it directly from SlingHttpServletRequest.
      Let me know if you have any other specific reason?

          Check https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/servlet-helpers.html, it explains the tools Sling provides for this.

            https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/servlet-helpers.html#internalrequest-helpers is not production safe instead use SlingRequestProcessor.

             

            .... import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest; import org.apache.sling.api.request.builder.Builders; import org.apache.sling.api.request.builder.SlingHttpServletResponseResult; import org.apache.sling.engine.SlingRequestProcessor; .... /** The sling processor. */ @Reference private SlingRequestProcessor slingProcessor; ..... SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest = Builders.newRequestBuilder(targetResource) .withExtension("html") .withSelectors("test") .withParameter("wcmmode", "disabled") .withRequestMethod("GET").build(); SlingHttpServletResponseResult responseResult = Builders.newResponseBuilder().build(); // Process the request slingProcessor.processRequest(slingRequest, responseResult, resolver); String res = responseResult.getOutputAsString();

              And just as a general statement: AEM making requests to itself is in general considered a code smell. There should always be a direct way (using API) to achieve the same.

               

              (And it case it is not, there should be one... please raise a feature request for it.)
