String[] selectors = slingRequest.getRequestPathInfo().getSelectors();

// to get a page from a path

Page page = pageManager.getPage(path);

// to get any containing page for a resource

Page page = pageManager.getContainingPage(resourceResolver.getResource(path));

// to get a session in JSP

final SlingRepository repos = sling.getService(SlingRepository.class);
session = repos.loginAdministrative(null);
// to get query object and run a query

//build query using search in crx explorer or crxdelite

String stmt = "select * from cq:Page where jcr:path like '/content/training/%' and contains(*, '" + slingRequest.getParameter("q") + "') order by jcr:score desc";

Query query = currentNode.getSession().getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery(stmt, Query.SQL);

QueryResult results = query.execute();

// Get node from path

Node n = session.getItem(path); // where session = JCR session

session.save();

session.logout();

// add a property to node

Node n = parent.addNode(…);
n.setProperty(“prop-name”,”value”);

XSS Protection for AEM Servlets:

Add XSS protection in AEM servlets using Apache Sling XSSAPI to avoid any scripts tag injected into request. This avoid any penetration issues.

import org.apache.sling.xss.XSSAPI; 

import org.apache.sling.api.SlingHttpServletRequest; 

XSSAPI xssapi = slingHttpServletRequestObj.adaptTo(XSSAPI.class); 

  String encodedAttr = xssapi.encodeForHTMLAttr(someUnsafeValue);

Default XSS configuration in AEM is available at /libs/cq/xssprotection/config.xml
