Michal Cukierman commented on SLING-11504:
------------------------------------------
I would proceed with the option number 2, I'll create a opt-in flag to make
sling:resourceType optional. Do you [~cziegeler] [~kwin] have any preferences
on what should be the flag name/behavior?
{quote}There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation
and naming things.
{quote}
*Option 1 (boolean flag):*
- skipRTProp
- onlyExplicitRTProp
- useRTFallbackOnly
{code:java}
Sling-Bundle-Resources:
/products;path:=/resources/products.json;propsJSON:=json;skipImplicitRT{code}
*Option 2 (also set default resource types):*
Or even go one step further and allow to declare default sling:resourceTypes
for files/folders
- defaultFolderRT=bundle/resource/folder
- defaultFileRT=bundle/resource/file
And if the defaultFolderRT or defaultFileRT is set, we skip setting
sling:resourceType property and depend only on getResourceType method?
So we would use:
{code:java}
Sling-Bundle-Resources:
/products;path:=/resources/products.json;propsJSON:=json;defaultFolderRT=bundle/resource/folder;defaultFileRT=bundle/resource/file{code}
> BundleResource fallback sling:resourceType should be consistent with
> JcrNodeResource

> *Background:*
> We work on Sling based CMS -
> [https://www.websight.io|https://www.websight.io/] . One of our current goals
> is to move /apps and /libs folders into bundle resources and get rid of JCR
> based sling scripting and configurations (JCR Installer). This is an
> alternative approach to CompositeNodeStore usage in order to support
> containerized environments, blue-green deployments, and separation of code,
> configuration, and data.
> To achieve this, we move components (and dialogs) definitions from JCR into
> bundles and make them work with the same APIs (like Sling Resource Merger).
>
> *The problem:*
> JcrNodeResource and BundleResource use different mechanisms for calculating
> fallback sling:resourceType
> * In JCR, Resource.getResourceType method is used to calculate resourceType
> if no explicit property is found in the repository. See
> [https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/72c105d67adc58ef1f4d43de78815fdcebb290b5/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/helper/jcr/JcrItemResource.java#L120]]
> * In Bundles, sling:resourceType is always set in the constructor and later
> overwritten by the JSON properties, if available. See:
> |[https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-bundleresource-impl/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/bundleresource/impl/BundleResource.java#L91]
> It results in a different contract, in particular, it’s impossible to declare
> BundleResource with no sling:resorurceType property. The result can be
> observed in the following Groovy Script execution, where both nodes have no
> sling:resourceTypes declared:
> !image-2022-07-29-16-47-41-320.png|width=751,height=545!
> Incompatible BundleResource and JCRNodeResource contracts requires
> workarounds in multiple APIs (our internal APIs / SlingResource Merger API)
> or to do workarounds at the data level.
>
> *Proposed solution:*
> I can reimplement BundleResource, so that sling:resourceType is calculated in
> the getter. This will result in a valid getResourceType() method contract
> with the possibility of having null sling:resourceType resource property.
