> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1778
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: JCR
> Reporter: Julian Sedding
> Attachments: 130704_symlinks-0.0.4.patch, symlinks.patch
>
>
> I have implemented a ResourceProvider, which allows to create symlink nodes
> in the JCR repository. A symlink node has a sling:symlinkTarget property,
> which should contain a valid JCR path. JCR content from the
> sling:symlinkTarget path is then exposed below the symlink node.
> There is a mixin node type, sling:Symlink with a mandatory property
> sling:symlinkTarget and an optional property sling:overlayable. Additionally,
> there is a convenience node type, sling:SymlinkResource, which extends from
> sling:symlinkTarget and nt:unstructured.
> ResourceProvider instances are registered for existing symlinks when the
> bundle is started. Modifications are taken care of via JCR observation.
> To get started:
> * apply the attached patch to a trunk checkout
> * build and install the bundle
> * create a symlink node, pointing to some existing content
> * access the symlink node e.g. via a browser
