Package org.apache.sling.api.servlets

Interface OptingServlet

All Superinterfaces:
javax.servlet.Servlet
@ConsumerType public interface OptingServlet extends javax.servlet.Servlet
The OptingServlet interface may be implemented by Servlets used by Sling which may choose to not handle all requests for which they would be selected based on their registration properties. Note that servlets implementing this interface can have an impact on system performance, as their resolution cannot be cached: the resolver has no insight into which parts of the request cause accepts(org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest) to return true.
