Justin Edelson commented on SLING-2596:
---------------------------------------
bq. What would that be used for ?
Imagine you wanted to encrypt property values which were annotated with
@Encrypted. In other words, posting
foo=somevalue
foo@Encrypted=true
should actually set the foo property to an encrypted version of "somevalue"
(how this encryption is done isn't important).
To implement this in a SlingPostProcessor requires iterating the request
parameters to extract the property names and then through the enter
Modification list to update the values. This is a moderate amount of code (~150
lines). If we make this SuffixHandler a first-class extension point, that
amount of code would be radically reduced.
> add an extension point to the Sling Post Servlet which makes it easy to add
> new suffixes

> Writing a SlingPostProcessor to handle an @Foo -style property is too hard...

> @Component
> @Service
> @Property(name="suffix", value="My")
> public class MySuffixHandler implements PostSuffixHandler {
> void handle(RequestProperty prop, Map<String, RequestProperty>
> allProperties) {
> // TODO - recalculate the property values
