Sling Models: injection strategy for custom injectors

[Former Community Member]

Hi everyone,

I have encountered some interesting thing in Sling. I have this model, for example ExampleModel.java · GitHub.

I set defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL for this model, and create field marked as @ChildResource. And this field leave required in spite of this.

My question is this bug or feature?)))

For @ChldResource - is the node a child or grandchild node as   discussed here:

Apache Sling :: Sling Models

see under the Collections heading.
