I have a servlet that has resource type = sling/servlet/default. How can I find a resource inside my project or how can i create a resource/component with this resourcetype

@vineetham123 ,

In this case, replace the value of the CommonConstants.SLING_SERVLET_DEFAULT with the resource type of the page you create. You can find the resource type of any page by going into http://localhost:4502/crx/de/index.jsp and search with the page path you created. Copy the value of "sling:resourceType" property of the page you created and update your Servlet with that value.

Hope this helps!

    Hello @vineetham123 

     

    Please refer to this documentation https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/servlets.html

     

    A default Servlet is selected if no servlet (or script) for the current resource type can be found. To make the provisioning of a default Servlet as versatile as provisioning per resource type Servlets (or scripts), the default Servlet is selected with just a special resource type sling/servlet/default.

     

    As you would notice, its not a real resource type but a fallback. A way to define a Default Servlet. So, we don't create components using this resource type. It is just used to create Default Servlets

      Thanks for the response @aanchal-sikka . See the below code

      @Component(service = {Servlet.class})
      @SlingServletResourceTypes(
      resourceTypes = {
      CommonConstants.SLING_SERVLET_DEFAULT},
      methods = HttpConstants.METHOD_GET,
      selectors = {"destination"},
      extensions = "json")
      @SlingServletName(servletName = "Sample Vegetable Shop Servlet")
      @ServiceDescription("Santhosh Vegetables - Veggie Servlet")
      public class DestinationServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet {
      }

       

      How can I access this in debug mode, (suppose that I know how to debug in aem) ,and suppose that I dont have enough packages in my local machine. I need to create some pages and fire a url that will eventually hit this servlet
