Serving content – Controller-driven
@GetMethod@AtLocation(“/users/{name}.html”)public byte[] handleUser(String name) { … }
map “users”map “articles” as “news”GET “images”
http://robert.muntea.nu @rombert
Serving content – Controller-driven
WelcomeController/
UserController/users
ArticleController/articles

What can Sling do for me?

Modularity with OSGi
● The solution we chose for modularity and services● Comes with lots of add-ons:
● Eventing● Administrative console● Configuration● Hot deployment● etc
● Forces application to handle the “real-world” dynamics● Easy configuration using annotations

Pluggable repositories
JCR
MongoDB
Couchbase
Filesystem
http://robert.muntea.nu @rombert
Pluggable authentication
Oauth
FormOak
Externale.g. LDAP
Basic HTTP
http://robert.muntea.nu @rombert
Others …
● Caching● Eventing● Logging● Health Checks● XSS protection● Validation
