Hi friends,
I've tried routing questions through stackoverflow to cut down my mails to
this list. I'm losing lots of time on this one, though, and am stuck.
I need to create APIs which don't represent Sling Resources. Example:
/services/images/123123123
that image will exist somewhere else.
Bertrand suggests creating a ResourceProvider, as in the example here [1].
However, that uses the spi package which is not in version 2.9.0 of
org.apache.sling.api, and thus, not available to me in Sling 8.
I did find a ResourceProvider interface to implement though, and created
this code:
/**
* Created by lancedolan on 1/27/17.
*/
@Component
@Service(value=ResourceProvider.class)
@Properties({
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.ROOTS, value = "things"),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.OWNS_ROOTS, value = "true")
})
public class ImageResourceProvider implements ResourceProvider {
/** If this provider required a context this would be more elaborate,
* but for this simple example we don't need one.
*/
public static class DoesNotNeedAContext {
};
@Override
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, String
path) {
Resource returnResource = new SyntheticResource(resourceResolver,
path, "edlio/microservice/image");
returnResource.getValueMap().put("myProp" , "myValue");
return returnResource;
}
@Override
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, String path) {
return getResource(resourceResolver , path);
}
@Override
public Iterator<Resource> listChildren(Resource resource) {
return null;
}
}
The result is that I get a 403 response. How do I control the authentication
for resources that don't actually exist? The fact that I'm not getting 404
means that my ResourceProvider is at least registering successfully.
Finally, I'd much prefer to use Jersey if possible... Anybody have success
getting Jersey to work in Sling 8? I dumped a bunch of time into it and gave
up after class not found errors for classes that should be found [2].
The ultimate goal is just to provide a restful API in Sling 8 and the
static-path-declaration of SlingSafeMethodsServlet just doesn't cut it.
Thanks a million guys...
