----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Provide Scripting variables as request attributes for JSP
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-247
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-247
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JSP
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The scripting variables defined in the SlingBIndings class are defined as
> global variables in script language bindings such as JavaScript and Velocity.
> In JSP this binding does not exist yet.
> The issue with JSP is, that JSPs are translated using a text-transformation
> to a Java class implementing the Servlet interface. As such there is no such
> thing as a global variable. A workaround to inject well known objects is
> implemented with <sling:defineObjects> tag. But this tag does not make the
> same defined variables available.
> I suggest to enhance JSP scripting as follows:
> (1) Bindings as Request Attributes
> All bindings defined in the SlingBindings object prepared for the script
> evaluation are stored as request attributes for use by the JSP.
> (2) Predefined bindings as variables through <sling:defineObjects>
> Some of the predefined bindings in the SlingBIndings object are mapped as
> variables in the JSP when using the <sling:defineObjects> tag. Some variable
> require special treatment:
> - request: The request variable already exists and is of type
> HttpServletRequest, the SlingHttpServletRequest object is bound as the
> slingRequest variable.
> - response: Same as for the request. The SlingHttpServletResponse object is
> bound as slingResponse
> - sling: Bound as is of type SlingScriptHelper
> - resource: Bound as is of type Resource
> - out: already bound by the JSP spec, nothing to be done
> - flush: Bound as is of type boolean
> - log: Bound as is of type org.slf4j.Logger
> The variable names listed above (slingRequest, slingResponse, sling,
> resource, flush, log) may be overwritten by specifying another name in the
> defineObjects tag, such as <sling:defineObjects logName="logger" /> do use
> "logger" as the name of the "Logger".
> (3) additional bindings only for JSP when using <sling:defineObjects>
> Currently the sling:defineObjects tag provides further variables: the JCR
> Node to which the resource adapts, (optionally) the mapped object to which
> the resource adapts (if the respective class is declared), the resource
> resolver and the service locator. I suggest we just keep these variables,
> though they are most probably definitely overkill....
