Sightly Java Use-API | Error while adapting from Resource

[maverick1407]

https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/sightly/use-api-in-java.html

<div data-sly-use.asset="com.day.cq.dam.api.Asset">
  <p>${asset.mimeType}</p>
</div>

This isn't working for me.

Similarly, I have tried adapting resource to Product

<div data-sly-use.product="com.adobe.cq.commerce.api.Product">
      <p>${product.title}</p>
  </div>

Getting Exception

See this AEM article:  Creating your first Adobe Experience Manager Sightly component

it talks about using Sighty and Java.

Here is more of an in-depth one that uses Sightly, Java, Sling Models and JSOUP API to build a DOM Parser component  - another good community article:
