--------------------------------------
Summary: Resource Merger: Provide a way to completely replace the
underlying resources
Key: SLING-5468
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5468
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: Resource Merger 1.2.10
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
Currently whenever the mount point of the {{MergingResourcePicker}}
(/mnt/overlay) or {{OverridingResourcePicker}} (/mnt/override) is used, the
merging always takes place. It is only possible to hide/modify individual
resource/properties of the underlying resources but not to completely disable
the inheritance (and by that replace the whole overriden/overlaid resource).
A concrete usecase for that is in a CMS (e.g. AEM) where the dialog definitions
are always loaded via /mnt/override/<resource type>. In that case it is not
easily possible to completely replace the dialog of the resource super type (as
only individual child resources or properties can be hidden but there is no
special property to ignore the inherited resource alltogether).
I propose the following:
Add a new property {{sling:disregardInheritedResource=true}} in which case all
the inherited resources would not be taken into account for merging.
