Hi When getting a resource the case seems to be clear: The first resource provider which returns a resource *wins*. And the resource providers are called in order starting with the provider which is registered for the longest part of the requested path. With ResourceResolver#listChildren it's a bit trickier. Assume the following:
structure in the JCR: /foo /foo/bar /foo/bar/test and in another resource provider: /foo/bar /foo/bar/myresource case 1) ResourceResolver#listChildren( "/foo/bar" ) should now list the following test myresource case 2) Assume another provider: /some/path/resource /some/path/resource2 What should ResourceResolver#listChildren( "/" ) list? >From my understanding it should list: foo some where may be a SyntheticResource. case 1) and case 2) are not returning the expected result, at least not if you use a bundle resource provider. I haven't looked into the details so I can't say if it's a problem of the bundle resource provider or a more general problem with the resource resolver implementation. Maybe security could be a problem. But a resource provider at least can access the user id via ResourceResolver#getUserID, and list children only if access is allowed. I don't know if this behavour of a resource provider is intended. WDYT? best regards mike
