------------------------------------------------------------
I am not that happy with this magic string:
* It does not feel sling-ish (I would expect a ResourceProvider for it)
* It might break code, which relies on
{noformat}
String jcrIdPath="/jcr:id/12345678";
Resoure r = resourceResolver.getResource(jcrIdPath);
assertEquals(fullPath,r.getPath());
{noformat}
(although such code might break in other cases already today, when using
aliases and vanity paths)
* is it possible to do a request to [http://localhost:8080/jcr:id/]<id>.html
and get the result rendered? Do we want this to happen?
* Right now it's not possible to turn off this behavior.

> Provide a way to retrieve a JCR backed resource by its node identifier

> Key: SLING-12300
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12300
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: JCR
> Reporter: Radu Cotescu
> Assignee: Radu Cotescu
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: JCR Resource 3.3.0
>
>
> Since all {{javax.jcr.Nodes}} have an identifier [0], a useful feature would
> be {{Resource}} retrieval by node id, which could be its {{jcr:uuid}}
> property for referenceable nodes or the path. In systems that would like to
> use UUID addressing, this would reduce the need for executing JCR queries for
> resource retrieval and would avoid double-reads via the JCR and then Sling
> API to obtain the resource.
> In order to provide a unified behaviour, paths starting with the {{/jcr:id/}}
> prefix should use the resource retrieval by node identifier.
