I am trying to convert the existing component code from JSP to Sightly. For that I need to get the paragarph object in the backend i.e. java and send it to sightly(HTL).
Existing code in JSP:
<%
ParagraphSystem parSys = ParagraphSystem.create(resource, slingRequest);
for (Paragraph par: parSys.paragraphs()) { %>
<sling:include resource="<%= par %>"/><%
} %>
In this way there are including a resource inside a component.
Below is the new sightly & jave code for the above one:
Java:
public class AnchorList extends WCMUsePojo{
private List<Paragraph> paragraphs;
public List<Paragraph> getParagraphs() {
return paragraphs;
}
public void setParagraphs(List<Paragraph> paragraphs) {
this.paragraphs = paragraphs;
}
public void activate() throws Exception{
paragraphs = new LinkedList<Paragraph>();
Resource resource = getResource();
SlingHttpServletRequest slingRequest = getRequest();
ParagraphSystem parSys = ParagraphSystem.create(resource, slingRequest);
for (Paragraph par: parSys.paragraphs()) {
paragraphs.add(par);
}
}
}
Sightly:
<div data-sly-use.anchorList="com.xxx.components.AnchorList"data-sly-unwrap>
<div data-sly-list.paras="${anchorList.paragraphList}" data-sly-unwrap>
<div data-sly-test.paraList="${paras}" data-sly-unwrap></div>
<div class="anchorlistitem section collapsed">
<div data-sly-resource="${@ resource=paraList}" data-sly-unwrap></div>
</div>
</div>
I am facing two issues over here. First, I am unable to get the paragraph object from java to front end using sightly. I tried to validate it by displaying the values of the paragraph object using the following:
<div>
para object is ${paras}
</div>
But it was not diplaying any value. I am able to see tha paragraph object values in the java class but its unable to read that in sightly.
Second issue is, I need the equivalent sightly code for JSP to include a resource in the component. I am not sure whether the code which I have written using the data-sly-resource is correct or not.
Below is the error log I am getting when I am trying to run the above java/htl code:
