This Week in AEM… Switching to Sling Models from WCMUsePOJO

Over the course of CQ/AEM, there have been a variety of ways to accomplish the component backend logic (JSP’s, WCMuse, WCMUsePOJO). Each promised to be an improvement on the previous version. And they were. However, with the more recent versions of AEM (6.2 and 6.3) starting to utilize the Sling Models API, it’s time to change again. Eddie Yao from Perficient has taken the time to walk you through three use cases on how to switch from WCMUsePOJO to Sling Models in Adobe Experience Manager. These are:

• How To Switch From WCMUsePojo To Sling Models in AEM Part One – Components
• How To Switch From WCMUsePojo To Sling Models in AEM Part Two – JUnit Test
