Problem with Sling Models in Adobe Experience Manager

[Former Community Member]

I am working on below community article related to Sling Models.  I follwed the steps given there but I am not able to map my Java Model/POJO. 

https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/sling_models.html

I have added below dependency to my pom.xml  and I also added below tag inside maven bundle plugin to ensure the model/POJO will be adaptable

My POJO/Model class UserInfo.java is located  inside "com.ritwik.poc.sling.models" package.

<Sling-Model-Packages>com.ritwik.poc.sling.models</Sling-Model-Packages>

 <dependency>

            <groupId>org.apache.sling</groupId>

            <artifactId>org.apache.sling.models.api</artifactId>

            <version>1.0.0</version>

            <scope>provided</scope>

        </dependency>

But I am getting null userInfo object when adapting from a sling resource .

 Resource resource = resourceResolver.getResource("/content/testsling/slingmodel"); 
 com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo userInfo = resource.adaptTo(com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo.class);

I am able to access resource properties using valuemap api. Kindly help me in fixing the issue.

Thanks

Did you also add this into your pom.xml?

<Sling-Model-Packages>

I have added that Tag in POM. Actual problem is Sling model related bundles are not part of my CQ installation (5.6) . I have downloaded couple bundle and after installing those two everything worked fine. Thanks for you support.

What CQ version are you using? 

[smacdonald2008]

I just tested on AEM 6 - there was no issue:

On AEM 6 - try installing the package - it works!

This is an AEM 6 community article - but we have some ppl getting it to work on 5.6.

Thanks Scott. I thought sling models are part of AEM 5.6 . After looking at your comment I have tried to install two bundles related to Sling Models manually and then its working fine.

org.apache.sling.models.api » 1.0.0

 org.apache.sling.models.impl » 1.0.0

I have downloaded above two bundles from maven respository and installed using AEM felix console . Then everything went fine. I would like to thank all active participants in AEM help forums since these are really helpful and informative for all AEM user especially beginers .

You have this code:

com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo userInfo = resource.adaptTo(com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo.class);

to me it should be like:

com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo userInfo = resource.adaptTo(com.ritwik.poc.sling.models.UserInfo);
