Difference bw these two urls

Question

It is always advisable is to use relative path instead of absolute path so that sling will look for the resources first under /apps(helpful in case of overlay)and then under /libs .

Hi @preeti5 ,

Lets understand the resource resolution concept, by default the sling looks for any script under '/apps' and then '/libs' (of course if you have not modified "Apache Sling Resource Resolver Factory").

Now when you specify resource path, that can be

1. Absolute path - means you will specify either /apps* or /libs* path

2. Relative path - you do not append anything (/apps or /libs) and let Sling do its job

Now, why it is recommended to use relative path, just consider you have used /libs* and in future someone in your team creates an overlay (means modified script version under /apps*) then you have to modified all references where you have put script path as /libs.

Hope it clarifies!
