sling model choice

[kusumam24182037]

Hi,

I have created sling model for the component.

While creating the sling model i need to specify the

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class) or @Model(adaptables=slinghttpservletrequest)

On what bases we have to select the adaptables.

I am new to AEM Kindly explain in detail to understand the concept.

I would recommend reviewing these resources below. [1] https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/adapters.html [2] https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-5/sites/developing/using/sling-adapters.html

Hi kusumam24182037​,

The above links should clear your understanding.

Adapting to a SlingHttpServletRequest gives you more options to manipulate resources in general.

Moreover you can even access request params if you do so.

Adapting to a resource can be done when you just need resource properties and there is not much to do with the request.

Please check if my answer here helps.

Regards,

Ram

If you want to read the values that an author enters into a component dialog, then:

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class)

will be fine. For more on working with Sling Models on 6.5 - see this article -- Building Experience Manager 6.5 Components using Granite/Coral Resource Types
