Sling models adapt to great grand child nodes

[Kamal_Kishor]

Is it possible to adapt to great grand children using sling models. My content structure is as below which is created using nested multi-field.

comp-node/
  multi-field-node/
    item0/
         sub-multi-field-node/
            sub-item0/
            sub-item1/
    item1/
    item2/

As I understand with @ChildResource we can adapt grand-child of current resource.
I am looking for a way using annotations to adapt to great grand child nodes i.e sub-item0, sub-item1,..
thank you.

@Kamal_Kishor create one main component based and two bean sling models. Call first bean sling model using @childResource from main component model and similarly second bean model using @childresource from first bean model.

import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.DefaultInjectionStrategy;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.Model;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.injectorspecific.ChildResource;
import org.apache.sling.models.annotations.injectorspecific.ValueMapValue;

import javax.inject.Named;
import java.util.List;

@Model(
        adaptables = {Resource.class, SlingHttpServletRequest.class},
        defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
public class CustomImpl {

    @Named("multi-field-node")
    @ChildResource
    public List<Child> child;

    public List<Child> getChild() {
        return child;
    }


    @Model(adaptables = {
            SlingHttpServletRequest.class,
            Resource.class },
            defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
    public class Child {

        @Named("sub-multi-field-node")
        @ChildResource
        public List<GrandChild> grandChild;

        public List<GrandChild> getGrandChild() {
            return grandChild;
        }
    }

    @Model(adaptables = {
            SlingHttpServletRequest.class,
            Resource.class },
            defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL)
    public class GrandChild {

        @ValueMapValue
        public String grandChildField;

        public String getGrandChildField() {
            return grandChildField;
        }
    }

}

thanks @Imran__Khan 
I was checking if there was a direct annotation to do so but it seems it isn;t.

Can you try like this - Write a Sling Model At each parent level
-- For Node - comp-node and child resource node - multi-field-node
@Model(adaptables = Resource.class)
public class CompNodeModel {

@ChildResource
private MultiFieldNodeModel multiFieldNode;
//-- 
--//
}

----

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class)
public class MultiFieldNodeModel {

@inject
private List<ItemModel> items;
/*
*/
}

----

@Model(adaptables = Resource.class)
public class ItemModel {

@ChildResource
private SubMultiFieldNodeModel subMultiFieldNode;
/*
*/
}

====

CompNodeModel compNodeModel = resource.adaptTo(CompNodeModel.class);
List<SubItemModel> subItems = compNodeModel.getMultiFieldNode().getItems().get(0).getSubMultiFieldNode().getSubItems();

Hi @Kamal_Kishor 
There is no grandchildren annotation, if there is one, it would be very expensive in terms of performance to retrive a grand children node from many nodes.

You can go ahead with the suggestion by @Imran__Khan  and @SureshDhulipudi 

however you can create your own annotations also.
