SlingModel still returning null when adapting item

Question

I am trying to get Sling Models working.

I have a simple annotated POJO that maps to a JCR Node by convention as follows:

@Model(adaptables=Resource.class)

public class FlushRule {

@Inject

public String optingRegex;

}

I have set a String value in optingRegex.

When I try to use it:

FlushRule currentRule=rule.adaptTo(FlushRule.class);

Although the correct object is in rule, currentRule is null.

I looked in http://localhost:4502/system/console/adapters and couldn't find any adapters.

Any tips would be appreciated.

You need to add following lines to the maven-bundle-plugin configuration in your pom.xml:

<configuration>
  <instructions>
    <Sling-Model-Packages>
      org.apache.sling.models.it.models
    </Sling-Model-Packages>
  </instructions>
</configuration>

where org.apache.sling.models.it.models is the Java package containing your models. The configured package (and all its subpackages) will be scanned for @Models. More information can be found on the Sling website.
