How to define a servlet path using the new servlet annotations?

Question

The new way to annotate servlets is like this: @8220494(service = { Servlet.class })
@SlingServletResourceTypes(
    resourceTypes="/apps/my/type", 
    methods= "GET",
    extensions="html",
    selectors="hello")
public class MyServlet extends SlingSafeMethodsServlet {

@9944223
    protected void doGet(SlingHttpServletRequest request, SlingHttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        ...
    }
}  How can one register by path, not by resource type? The documenation: https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/servlets.html Has no info on this,it mentions "sling.servlet.paths" but his is the old way, not the new way?

Ok, found the solution:@SlingServletPaths(value="/bin/somepath")private class MyServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet

Hi,

You can use below syntax for registering the servlet with paths

@Component(service = Servlet.class,

property = {

Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=Some Description",

"sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_GET,

"sling.servlet.paths=" + "/bin/somepath",

"sling.servlet.extensions=json"

})

You can use the resourceType also to bind the servlet to a path

@8220494(service = Servlet.class, property = { Constants.SERVICE_DESCRIPTION + "=Some Description",

"sling.servlet.methods=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_POST,

"sling.servlet.resourceTypes=apps/servlets/sometext" })

Create a node under content folder and add the resourceType as given in the servlet and hitting the page url will trigger the servlet.

Url to trigger the servlet: http://localhost:4502/content/wknd-events/servlet_nodes/servlets/newservlet

Hope this helps
