Sling servlet by path and resourceType

Question

Hi,

There are 2 ways we can register our servlet by using path and resoureType.

AEM suggests always try to use resourceType registering servlet.

Can any one explain which Scenario is not achieved through resourceType then we we need to go to Path.

As you have mentioned, there are 2 ways to register a servlet (path and resource type). There are many advantages by binding a servlet to a resource type rather than a path discussed here: https://aem.redquark.org/2019/07/sling-servlet-04-registration-via.html

Main advantage is Acess control. If you do not want any access control over the servlet you can use PATH based approach.

Other use-cases can be the negation of the advantages that resource type can provide.

Thanks,
