Description

For ease of script development, I would like to introduce a mechanism for mapping Sling Model classes to resource types for Resource and SlingHttpServletRequest objects.

From an API perspective, this introduces two new methods on ModelFactory:

public Object getModelFromResource(@Nonnull Resource resource);
public Object getModelFromRequest(@Nonnull SlingHttpServletRequest request);

And a new attribute on the @Model annotations

public String resourceType() default "";
