I am using Day CQ. I want to store some data in a SQL Server DB, using the connection pool available in the Felix console. I can do this from a JSP, by using the "sling" object of type SlingScriptHelper defined in the defineObjects tag
sling.getService(DataSourcePool.class).
However, I want to use a servlet created in an OSGi bundle to handle requests from the client. The servlet doesn't have a defineObjects tag, so the "sling" object is not defined. I don't see a way to create a valid SlingScriptHelper object in my servlet, but it seems like it has to be possible.
Is there a way?
To get a service from a java OSGi component you don't need the SlingScriptHelper, you can either use the BundleContext.getService(...) method, or use SCR annotations to let SCR inject the service in your component.
As an example, you can look at how some components in Sling's Slingbucks sample use SCR annotations, the ConfirmedOrdersObserver class for example gets the SlingRepository in this way:
@Reference
private SlingRepository repository;
See http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-maven-scr-plugin.html for the Maven plugin that handles these annotations.
