About

Apache Sling is an open-source web framework that uses a Java Content Repository (JCR), such as Apache Jackrabbit, to store and manage content.

It maps HTTP request URLs to content resources, supports server-side scripting with languages like JSP, JavaScript, Ruby, and Velocity, and integrates with the OSGi framework for modularity.

Java Portlets are pluggable user interface software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal.
