All, I've made some additional contributions around the resource access tags, based on SLING-1500<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1500>, which had some nice features including:
* New FindResources tag, for invoking the resourceResolver.findResources functionality * Updated: GetResources tag, adds the ability to specify a base resource under which to retrieve a relative resource * New EL function adaptTo: adding the ability to adapt adaptables in EL functions * New EL function findResources: enable invoking the resourceResolver.findResources functionality EL functions * New EL function getRelativeResource: enables finding resources by a relative path in EL functions The patch also contains jUnit tests for these new tags and functions. I was also looking through the old issues, and I believe SLING-577<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-577> can be closed, as Tobias points out you can bind a ValueMap to the page context and access properties on it using EL functions, e.g.: pageContext.setAttribute("myProps",aValueMap); ${myProps.name} - ${myProps['sling:resourceType']} Finally, I was wondering what the process would be for getting Sling Taglib 2.1.9 released? Is there anything else required before it gets released or anything I can do to help the process? Thanks, Dan From: Dan Klco Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2012 3:48 PM To: dev@sling.apache.org Subject: Resource Access Tags All, I was wondering if there was any interest in adding the Resource access tags I provided into the Sling Taglib. The idea behind these tags is to provide a faculty for accessing some of the most common functionality in the Sling Resource API without having to use Scriplet. The tags include the following: * getResource - get a resource by path * listChildren - invoke the listChildren method, useful if SLING-2641 is not in place * adapt - adapts adaptables to other object types * getProperty - allows you to get properties from ValueMaps with defaults and object casting The patches for this functionality and a page describing the Sling TLDs, including what tags are available in each version of the Sling TLD are on this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2648 Thanks, Dan Klco Senior Staff Engineer, Adobe WEM / Day CQ5 San Ramon, CA / Dayton, OH [Description: Description: Description: cid:image003.gif@01CCF856.90108760]<http://www.sixdimensions.com/> Cell (937) 231-3050 Office (937) 343-1326 Fax (877) 510-5082 LinkedIn<http://www.linkedin.com/in/klcodanr> | @KlcoDanR<https://twitter.com/klcodanr> People.
