Hi,

Please check usage of various annotations which supported only with either Resources or SlingHttpServletRequest

we use resource.class when the class itself is a resource and SlingHttpServletRequest.class is used for getting request objects

Resource is the most commonly used adaptable in Sling Models. It represents a resource in the JCR repository, such as a node or a property. You would typically use Resource as an adaptable if you want to access and manipulate the properties and child nodes of a specific JCR resource.

On the other hand, SlingHttpServletRequest is another adaptable in Sling Models that represents an HTTP request to the Sling framework. You would typically use SlingHttpServletRequest as an adaptable if you want to access the request parameters, headers, and other metadata associated with an HTTP request.
