Nicolas Peltier commented on SLING-2726:
----------------------------------------
have a specific node type on which you can't add any children, let say /a/b/c
is of that type. then /a/b/c(/*)? would be handled by c's renderer.
> allow simple wildcards in servlet paths

> Key: SLING-2726
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2726
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Servlets
> Reporter: Nicolas Peltier
> Priority: Minor
>
> While i'm a big fan/evangelist of sling unique servlet management. I tend to
> think this would be nice to allow minimum wildcard for servlet paths, i.e.
> /a/b/* (no suffix), as some use cases can't be cover right now with jcr based
> resources + path servlets.
> Basically every resource model where you don't need a jcr node for (while
> it's very convenient most of the time).
> I'm thinking for example of having a profile servlet with a nice public
> /profile/jdoe.html url. Right now my possibilities are
> * to create a flat tree of fake user nodes under a profile node just for the
> sake of my urls (don't need righs handling, don't need other verbs for the
> same resource),
> * to have tons of vanityUrls (not meant for that kind of usage)
> * to create my own ResourceProvider that map that kind of URLs to existing
> jcr resources.
> * to switch to /profile.jdoe.html, or /profile.html?uid=jdoe
> And i tend to think a tiny wildcard in a path parameter would be nicer :-)
