I was going to say that you shouldn't need to implement NonExistingResource interface because a selector wouldn't impact resolution then I had one of those blinding aha moments.
In the case of the url you posted you aren't adding a selector, you are modifying the resource name. '/content/dam/nice-image.jpg' does not have an extension in the traditional sense, in the traditional sling sense the resource would actually be '/content/dam/nice-image' and jpg would be a handler that would return the asset as a jpeg. So when you are adding a selector to it it's not matching anything because there is no '/content/dam/nice-image' resource to match against. So first make your request find the resource without the servlet in the way. If you switch around the .cdn to the end and add a period at the end of cdn like this... content/dam/nice-image.jpg.cdn./modification-date/20160815/nice-image.jpg This should work to return the original nice-image.jpg at that point it should be easier to create a servlet that will have the resource as part of the request. Or optionally you could try adding a sling:resourceType to the image and have a selector within that resource type that does what you need it do. -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Roy Teeuwen [mailto:r...@teeuwen.be] Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 3:17 PM To: users@sling.apache.org Subject: Re: Getting the actual resource from a request Hmm Sorry Jason, I might have had to notice that I am extending SlingSafeMethodServlet but also implementing the following servlet: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/day/cq/commons/servlets/NonExistingResourceServlet.html And as it states in the docs itself, it also says: public boolean accepts(SlingHttpServletRequest request) { // get non-existing path (incl. selectors and extension!) String path = request.getResource().getPath(); // return true if this servlet can handle this path return true; } So probably it’s not possible to do it through this interface in without manually parseing :) It also says in the docs: Please note: This is a temporary solution until Sling provides a built-in mechanism for this use case. Not to be used by client implementations! Any clue if it is possible yet to do it with standard sling, the thing I try to achieve is a servlet that also catches resources with a selector AND suffix (as stated in my example of course) ? Thanks!
