--------------------------------------
Summary: Validator should be allowed to get the resource on which
validation was triggered
Key: SLING-4922
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4922
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Validation
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
Fix For: Validation 1.0.0
Currently the {{Validator}} interface only gets the {{ValueMap}} on which the
validation has been called
(https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/bundles/extensions/validation/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/validation/Validator.java#L75).
But sometimes this is not enough because more information need to be evaluated
in the validator.
For example the resource path or even the original resource is now completely
inaccessible (except via weird workaround like casting to {{JcrPropertyMap}}
and calling the deprecated {{getPath()}} on it). Therefore the validator should
also get the resource on which the validation has been called originally (this
must be {{null}} in case the validation has been triggered directly on a
{{ValueMap}}).
That way it would be possible to e.g. get information about the container
resource or get a Sling Model of that resource.
