Field Detail

REQUEST

public static final String REQUEST

The name of the global scripting variable providing the SlingHttpServletRequest object (value is "request"). The value of the scripting variable is the same as that returned by the SlingScriptHelper.getRequest() method.

This bound variable is required in the bindings given the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

RESPONSE

public static final String RESPONSE

The name of the global scripting variable providing the SlingHttpServletResponse object (value is "response"). The value of the scripting variable is the same as that returned by the SlingScriptHelper.getResponse() method.

This bound variable is required in the bindings given the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

READER

public static final String READER

The name of the global scripting variable providing the Reader object (value is "reader").

This bound variable is required in the bindings given the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SLING

public static final String SLING

The name of the global scripting variable providing the SlingScriptHelper for the request (value is "sling").

This bound variable is optional. If existing, the script helper instance must be bound to the same request and response objects as bound with the REQUEST and RESPONSE variables. If this variable is not bound, the script implementation will create it before actually evaluating the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

RESOURCE

public static final String RESOURCE

The name of the global scripting variable providing the Resource object (value is "resource"). The value of the scripting variable is the same as that returned by the SlingScriptHelper.getRequest().getResource() method.

This bound variable is optional. If existing, the resource must be bound to the same resource as returned by the SlingHttpServletRequest.getResource() method. If this variable is not bound, the script implementation will bind it before actually evaluating the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

RESOLVER

public static final String RESOLVER

The name of the global scripting variable providing the ResourceResolver object (value is "resolver"). The value of the scripting variable is the same as that returned by the SlingScriptHelper.getRequest().getResourceResolver() method.

This bound variable is optional. If existing, the resource resolver must be bound to the same resolver as returned by the SlingHttpServletRequest.getResource().getResourceResolver method. If this variable is not bound, the script implementation will bind it before actually evaluating the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

OUT

public static final String OUT

The name of the global scripting variable providing the java.io.PrintWriter object to return the response content (value is "out"). The value of the scripting variable is the same as that returned by the SlingScriptHelper.getResponse().getWriter() method.

Note, that it may be advisable to implement a lazy acquiring writer for the out variable to enable the script to write binary data to the response output stream instead of the writer.

This bound variable is optional. If existing, the resource must be bound to the same writer as returned by the SlingHttpServletResponse.getWriter() method of the response object bound to the RESPONSE variable. If this variable is not bound, the script implementation will bind it before actually evaluating the script.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

FLUSH

public static final String FLUSH

The name of the global scripting variable indicating whether the output used by the script should be flushed after the script evaluation ended normally (value is "flush").

The type of this variable is java.lang.Boolean indicating whether to flush the output (value is TRUE) or not (value is FALSE). If the variable has a non-null value of another type, the output is not flush as if the value would be FALSE.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

LOG

public static final String LOG

The name of the global scripting variable providing a logger which may be used for logging purposes (value is "log"). The logger provides the API defined by the SLF4J org.slf4j.Logger interface.

This bound variable is optional. If this variable is not bound, the script implementation will bind it before actually evaluating the script.
