Processing Sling Request without the "sling.servlet.selectors"

[Peter_Puzanovs]

Hi,

I want to process Servlet without the "sling.servlet.selectors", e.g. process the request with an empty selector.

Here is my current code that works with selector.

@Component(immediate = true, metatype = false) @Service(value = javax.servlet.Servlet.class) @Properties({ @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, value = "Test"), @Property(name = Constants.SERVICE_VENDOR, value = OsgiServiceProperties.SERVICE_VENDOR), @Property(name = "sling.servlet.methods", value = {"GET" }), @Property(name = "sling.servlet.extensions", value = { "xml" }), @Property(name = "sling.servlet.selectors", value = { "foo" }) }) public class TestServlet extends PageServlet { // PageServlet == SlingSafeMethodsServlet with some improvements ... @Override protected final void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { response.getWriter().print("I have been invoked.."); } }

Works fine but, when I remove the @Property(name = "sling.servlet.selectors", value = { "foo" }) the Servlet stops working. What property/setting should I use to process empty selector ?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

You can use sling.servlet.paths to list an absolute path(s) that your servlet will be accessible: http://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/servlets.html, note that setting this property means that all other properties will be ignored...

Hi, according to the documentation @ http://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/servlets.html

try to set either the path or the resourceType property. As i understand it you need to have something set for the servlet not to be ignored.

Once you set it to either, path resourceType or selector I'm quite sure that it will work :) As
