Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-5992:
----------------------------------------
I guess the difference is that the caller doesn't have to know the model's
class name. Instead the model is registered to the resource type. So the
mapping is given with the {{@Model}} annotation instead of explicitly
requesting a model of a specific type.

>
> For ease of script development, I would like to introduce a mechanism for
> mapping Sling Model classes to resource types for Resource and
> SlingHttpServletRequest objects.
> From an API perspective, this introduces two new methods on ModelFactory:
> {code}
> public Object getModelFromResource(@Nonnull Resource resource);
> public Object getModelFromRequest(@Nonnull SlingHttpServletRequest request);
> {code}
> And a new attribute on the @Model annotations
> {code}
> public String resourceType() default "";
> {code}
