How Sling Model Resolution works?

[arindam6600]

I was asked in an interview to explain step by step how sling model resolution works. I tried my best but as per the interviewer it wasn't enough. Can anyone please let me know stepwise how the sling model resolution occurs (interview-level). Thanks!

Hi Arin,

Hi @arindam6600 , Sling model resolution is a sub-part of sling resolution. In the component .html file we have used the sling models. The sling model gets invoked when resolution occurs.

In simple terms, sling models are simple POJO classes that are mapped automatically with Sling Objects (resource, request objects) and allow us to access jcr node property values directly into java classes.

Please refer to the below article for more details:-
