Class SlingConstants


  • public class SlingConstants
    extends java.lang.Object
    The SlingConstants interface provides some symbolic constants for well known constant strings in Sling. Even though these constants will never change, it is recommended that applications refer to the symbolic constants instead of code the strings themselves.

    This class is not intended to be extended or instantiated because it just provides constants not intended to be overwritten.

If this attribute is not set and the error handler is not configured to set its own status code anyway, a default value of INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR (500) should be sent.
