             Summary: Add support for scoped lifecycle of sling models
                 Key: SLING-6785
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6785
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Christophe Jelger
            Priority: Minor


Similar to the scopes of JEE beans (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/gjbbk.html), it would be nice to have the possibility to set a scope for sling models.

For example, a sling model instance could be reused for all the components within the same HTTP request, thus avoiding that multiple instances of the "same" model are created.

This could be an attribute of the {{@model}} annotation, for example something like:
{{@model scope="request"}}

For models adapted from a resource, there are scenarios where the resource itself is not relevant once the model has been instantiated, so it would still be useful to be able to obtain the same model instance for different resources within the same HTTP request.

We could possibly have the same scopes than the JEE beans scope: {{request}}, {{session}}, and {{application}}.
