how to call a sling servlet through osgi bundle inside CQ5 - servlets

Question

I just created a Sling servlet through maven.packaging as - "bundle", then I installed it inside system console of CQ5.
My bundle shows me Active state and all the required packages ..exported successfully.
but I when I call this bundle to use the servlet... nothing happened.
It doesn't give me response.
Is there a better way..to create a sling servlet and create a OSGI bundle,so that I can install it as a bundle in CQ5 to call the servlet from the component.

Answer 1

You can create SlingSerlvet like this.
#SlingServlet(
paths={"/services/myapp/LoginController/validateUser","/services/myapp/LoginController/logout"})
#Properties({
#Property(name="service.pid", value="com.xxx.xxx.controller.LoginController",propertyPrivate=false),
#Property(name="service.description",value="Validates the user", propertyPrivate=false),
#Property(name="service.vendor",value="xxx Tech", propertyPrivate=false)
})
public class LoginController extends SlingAllMethodsServlet{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Override
protected void doPost(SlingHttpServletRequest request,
SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {
}
#Override
protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request,
SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
IOException {
}
}
To Call this servlet in browser just type the URLS "/services/myapp/LoginController/validateUser"
And "/services/myapp/LoginController/logout" As you may already know that a serlvet can have multiple URLS.
This is a working piece of Code.
Make sure that your URL Mappings i.e paths(in Sling/CQ5) starts with /services
also you can also create bundle using a dedicated Eclipse for CQ5 CRXDE Eclipse instead of Maven bundle.
It's much easier to use but it is a bit slow. Download Here
