Bruce Edge commented on SLING-4223:
-----------------------------------
Is this feature on anyone's road map?
This is highly desirable for our application as it allows the use of all
existing input channels without having to write a content-specific handler for
each one.
> make Content Loader extensible to support new import formats
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-4223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4223
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: JCR
> Affects Versions: JCR ContentLoader 2.1.10
> Reporter: Oliver Lietz
> Fix For: JCR ContentLoader 2.2.0
>
>
> The current Content Loader supports a basic set of import formats which are
> identified by extension: {{.xml}}, {{.jcr.xml}}, {{.json}}, {{.jar}} and
> {{.zip}}.
> There is a [user
> request|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/sling-users/201412.mbox/%3cd0a6198c.20fbeb%[email protected]%3e]
> to support custom formats like Adobe Folio and [some ideas how to
> implement|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/sling-users/201412.mbox/%[email protected]%3e]:
> * we create a new org.apache.sling.contentloader.reader package to be
> exported at version 1.0
> * move the ContentCreator (@ProviderType) and ContentReader (@ConsumerType)
> to that new package
> * convert the BaseImportLoader into a standalone ContentReader service holder
> used by the DefaultContentImporter and ContentLoaderService components.
> * For the ContentReader service interface we define service registration
> properties for the service to expose the file name extension (and maybe
> content type) the reader supports.
