How to create JobConsumer in Sling?

Question

According to Apache Sling official site(https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/apache-sling-eventing-and-job-handling.html#job-consumers), this is the way to write JobConsumer.

import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.felix.scr.annotations.Service;
import org.apache.sling.event.jobs.Job;
import org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.JobConsumer;

@Component
@Service(value={JobConsumer.class})
@Property(name=JobConsumer.PROPERTY_TOPICS, value="my/special/jobtopic",)
public class MyJobConsumer implements JobConsumer {

    public JobResult process(final Job job) {
        // process the job and return the result
        return JobResult.OK;
    }
}

However @Service and @Property are both deprecated annotations. I want to know the proper way to create JobConsumer. Does anyone know how to write a code equivalent to the above?

Answer 1

The scr annotations are deprecated in AEM and it is recommended to use the official OSGi Declarative Services annotations going forward. There is a seminar by Adobe on using the OSGi R7 annotations.

The new way of writing the same would be

import org.osgi.service.component.annotations.Component;
import org.apache.sling.event.jobs.Job;
import org.apache.sling.event.jobs.consumer.JobConsumer;

@Component(
    immediate = true,
    service = JobConsumer.class,
    property = {
        JobConsumer.PROPERTY_TOPICS +"=my/special/jobtopic"
    }
)
public class MyJobConsumer implements JobConsumer {

    public JobResult process(final Job job) {
        // process the job and return the result
        return JobResult.OK;
    }
}
