public class SlingConstants
extends Object

The SlingConstants interface provides some symbolic constants for well known constant strings in Sling. Even though these constants will never change, it is recommended that applications refer to the symbolic constants instead of code the strings themselves.

Field Detail

NAMESPACE_PREFIX

public static final String NAMESPACE_PREFIX
The namespace prefix used throughout Sling (value is "sling").

The actual use depends on the environment. For example a ResourceResolver using a JCR repository may name Sling node types and items using namespaces mapped to this prefix. A JSP tag library for Sling may use this prefix as the namespace prefix for its tags.

Constant Field Values

NAMESPACE_URI_ROOT

public static final String NAMESPACE_URI_ROOT
The namespace URI prefix to be used by Sling projects to define namespaces (value is "http://sling.apache.org/").

The actual namespace URI depends on the environment. For example a ResourceResolver using a JCR repository may define its namespace as NAMESPACE_URI_ROOT + "jcr/sling/1.0". A JSP tag library for Sling may define its namespace as NAMESPACE_URI_ROOT + "taglib/sling/1.0".

If this attribute is not set and the error handler is not configured to set its own status code anyway, a default value of INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR (500) should be sent.
