Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-3342: -------------------------------------------- Thanks for the examples - I guess the main thing is that if code really needs to use SlingBindings, it should handle the case where the request attribute is null. > Do not use SlingBindings in Java code > ------------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-3342 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3342 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Task > Components: Best practices > Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz > Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz > Priority: Minor > > **DRAFT** - to be reviewed, and we need to update the SlingBindings javadocs > as well. > SlingBindings is meant to be used in Sling scripts. > It might be available as a Request attribute in some cases, as Sling sets > that before running scripts, but one cannot rely on that in java code. > There’s usually no reason to use it in Java code anyway, all the services > that it provides are available directly, for example via an @Reference > annotation. > Here’s a typical counter-example which should use an @Reference to the FooBar > service instead: > // Do NOT do that! > SlingBindings bindings = > (SlingBindings)request.getAttribute(SlingBindings.class.getName()); > SlingScriptHelper scriptHelper = bindings.getSling(); > FooBar fb = scriptHelper.getService(FoorBar.class); -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
