How to get 'currentPage' in java code when not using activate method

[askdctm]

Hi All,

If we were to retrieve currentPage via activate method[seen below] , we can directly use getCurrentPage() and get it. However, in case I am not using this and also cannot pass getCurrentPage() from the java class where activate method is present , how do I get 'currentPage'?

@Override
    public void activate() throws Exception {}

Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

Activate method is for classes implementing WCMuse interface in sightly.

You can use sling model  or simple resource resolver

Page mycurrentPage = request.getResource().adaptTo(Page.class)

Hi Praveen,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

In my java code, I tried the below :

private static SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest;

Page mycurrentPage = slingRequest.getResource().adaptTo(Page.class);

but the code is breaking after running this line and not going further.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

'mycurrentPage' is object of class Page

Now you use any of the specified method available here in https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/day/cq/wcm/api/Page.html

Please share the exception or code snippet
