@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!

Could you please explain use case in details?

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

This is very frequently used with assets. Example:

http://localhost:4502/content/dam/wknd/en/site/not-found.jpg.destination.json

 

Even this would work

http://localhost:4502/content/wknd/language-master.destination.json will call your servlet, due to selector and extension

http://localhost:4502/content/wknd/language-masters.model.json will return results from OOTB Page model

 

In a way, the servlet is no longer bound to a resource type... Rather becomes available for generic use
