Is it safe to use Apache Sling Taglib version 1.3?

[Dinu_Arya]

Hi Team,

I need to get the resource of a content source and I have to pass this as parameter to a method using JSTL. I'm achieving through Apache sling taglib 1.3

<%@taglib prefix="sling" uri="http://sling.apache.org/taglibs/sling" %>

But in AEM OOTB global.jsp we have 1.0 version. Is it safe o use? Will it create any problem anywhere? I have followed http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/sling-scripting-jsp-taglib.html . Your comments are welcome.

Thanks,

AryA.

Hi,

You will get errors if you try to define the "sling" prefix multiple times. But this is relatively easy to avoid and the behavior should be entirely deterministic.

To be clear, this is a general JSP restriction and not specific to this taglib.

Yes Justin. You are right. I got the errors. So I changed "sling"prefix to "newSling" and used in my JSP. It's working as I expected. Will it create any problems in future?
