Load a WCMUsePojo class inside of a JSP template

Hi,

 

I'm currently rewriting a Sightly template as JSP (I usually prefer using Sightly, but I need JSP for this use case).

 

In our Sightly template, we are loading in a model class that inherits from WCMUsePojo:

 

<sly data-sly-use.search="edu.nyu.aemnyu.core.components.content.news.Search" data-sly-unwrap>

When I try mimicking this in the JSP template:

 

Search search = resource.adaptTo(Search.class);

The "activate()" method doesn't seem to get invoked, which tells me I'm doing something wrong.

 

Am I missing a better way to handle this in JSP? I'm hoping to avoid re-writing the Search class referenced above  since its used elsewhere.

 

Thank you in advance,

Scott

WcmUsePojo is a bit restricted in its usability, and for that reason the Sling Models have been implemented. You might want to convert pojo to a Sling Model, in most cases it's straight forward.

Hi @scottfinkelstein 
I am not sure if you can use WCMUsePojo in the JSP but you can use sling model in JSP

      Thank you both! I converted the WCMUsePojo class to a Sling Model, and that worked within my JSP file. It also worked well in that I was able to use it in our Sightly template, thereby retiring the WCMUsePojo class.

       

      Thanks again!
