Bruce, How you would do this depends in part on what that servlet does that's listening at /var/cars/
If you have all the data that is supposed to be at a particular path then removing that custom servlet and using the built in content creation process detailed at http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html Is probably your best bet. So that something like this curl -u admin:admin -F key1=value1 -F key2=value2 -F key3=value3 -F data=@filename localhost:8080/var/cars/fiat/124-F/1970 would generate that file structure, add all the keys and values as properties on the 1970 node and put your file beneath 1970. -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Edge [mailto:bruce.e...@nextissuemedia.com] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 10:23 AM To: users@sling.apache.org Subject: SlingServlet paths/resourceType/etc for POST to nonexistent URLs in JCR I have a SlingServlet working with a fixed length path, using sling.servlet.paths=/var/cars. Under this I have a fixed format hierarchy consisting of make, model, year. I can populate by passing make, model, year and data as POST parameters. curl -u admin:admin -F make=fiat -F model=124 -F year=1970 -F data=@filename localhost:8080/var/cars/ I'd like to handle POSTs to any path below the servlet's base path, e.g.: /var/cars/{make}/{model}/{year} eg: curl -u admin:admin -F date=@filename localhost:8080 /var/cars/content/fiat/124/1970 I don't see a way to specify paths beyond the base without something kludgy like appending the make/model/year after a selector, i.e.: /var/cars.json/fiat/124/1970 What's the recommended SlingServlet solution for pushing data into a sparse tree with lots of path name components? -Bruce
