Yes, the idea is that a request like /system/nodetypes.tidy.99.json
outputs a JSON dump of all nodetypes.

Yes, that plugin would (internally) make that request and format the output.

I think the simplest ResourceProvider example is the
PlanetResourceProvider used in our tests [1] , and the JMX
ResourceProvider [2] has similarities to what you need.


We have many webconsole plugin in our codebase. The Health Checks
plugin [2] is a relatively simple one.

Sorry for the late reply but had to upgrade my pet project to Sling 9 / OSGi 
annotations.

Anyhow I am trying to understand what you have in mind.

The Resource Provider is there to create a resource of a node type, right?

The list of node types and their dependencies is then handling in a
“Web Console Plugin” to display them inside the OSGi console?

Does anyone know a good example of them (Resource Provider and Web
Console Plugin) I could use as template?

Thanks - Andy

Sounds great Andreas. Bertrand's advice seems good too.

I think that would be useful, unless we already have something that I missed.

Implementing it as a resource provider might make sense? And mount it
by default under /system/nodetypes.

Sling Node Type Web Console Plugin

[Andreas Schaefer Sr.]

Hi

Twice in a row was I faced with the question what Node Types are deployed in 
Sling and what is its hierarchy.

I know there is this XML web page: 
http://localhost:8080/_jcr_system/_jcr_nodeTypes.xml 


but that one is not very user friendly and hard to find.

Would you guys be interested in a Web Console Plugin that shows the installed 
Node Types with their hierarchy
in a way similar the “good-old CRX Explorer” from AEM?

Or at least a page that has anchors and links so that the user can jump through 
the hierarchy and find the necessary
data.

Cheers - Andy
