Class ScriptHelper

java.lang.Object

org.apache.sling.scripting.core.ScriptHelper

All Implemented Interfaces:

SlingScriptHelper

public class ScriptHelper
extends Object
implements SlingScriptHelper

Simple script helper providing access to the (wrapped) response, the on-demand writer and a simple API for request inclusion. Instances of this class are made available to the scripts as the global sling variable. Client code using this object should take care to call cleanup() when the object is not used anymore!

getService

public <T> T getService(Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: SlingScriptHelper

Lookup a single service.

If multiple such services exist, the service with the highest ranking (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_RANKING property) is returned. If there is a tie in ranking, the service with the lowest service ID (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_ID property); that is, the service that was registered first is returned.

This is equal to the semantics from BundleContext.getServiceReference(Class).

Specified by:

getService in interface SlingScriptHelper

Type Parameters:

T - The type (interface) of the service.

Parameters:

type - The type (interface) of the service.

Returns:

The service instance, or null if no services are registered which implement the specified class.

The returned array is sorted descending by service ranking (i.e. the service with the highest ranking is returned first). If there is a tie in ranking, the service with the lowest service ID (as specified in its Constants.SERVICE_ID property); that is, the service that was registered first is returned first.

Specified by:

getServices in interface SlingScriptHelper

Type Parameters:

T - The type (interface) of the service.

Parameters:
