Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-12781:
-----------------------------------------
Problem is that the
[AbstractResource|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/api/resource/AbstractResource.java]
implements the {{getValueMap}} but currently does neither implement
{{getResourceType}} nor {{getResourceSuperType}}.
If management of types should be built into {{AbstractResource}} it must either
1. Manage all properties (probably cannot be achieved in a non-backwards
compatible way) or
2. Separates somehow the primary properties (type and super type) from the
other ones, however the {{MergingValueMap}} is currently always immutable.
Should there be another implementation of ValueMap which separates those
primary types from the others?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12781
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> As discussed in
> https://lists.apache.org/thread/qfj6m7tkvkyz1zvx0fc93385yp1ho04j the resource
> type and the optional super type should always be exposed as regular
> properties {{sling:resourceType}} and {{sling:resourceSuperType}} via the
> resource's valuemap.
> Also setting those properties via
> [ModifiableResourceType|https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling13/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ModifiableValueMap.html]
> should modify the return value of {{Resource.getResourceType()}} an
> {{Resource.getResourceSuperType()}}.
> This allows to also set the type/super type in the
> {{ResourceResolver.create(...)}} method via the properties arguments (no
> matter which resource provider is serving the new resource)
