org.apache.sling.api.SlingConstants

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.

This class is not intended to be extended or instantiated because it just provides constants not intended to be overwritten.

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

  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".
