Stefan Seifert commented on SLING-5886:
---------------------------------------
the idea behind the class signature:
* {{get(Resource, String) -> ValueMap}} is the "low-level" access normally not
used by application code
* {{get(Resource, Class) -> ClassInstance}} is the way to go for application
code. the "configName" is somehow derived from the class. my idea is that by
default the class name is used (benefit: is automatically unique accross all
applications, no clashes), but alternatively an other config name could be
defined as annotation on the configuration class.
* then nothing more happens than mapping the valuemap to the annotation class
following the rules from the osgi spec

> as discussed in the mailing list (see [my post from april

> i want to contribute the wcm.io Configuration parts that are not
> AEM-specific.
> the current features of wcm.io Configuration are described here:
> http://wcm.io/config/
> the main goal is to support "context-specific" configuration, that means
> configuration that is different for different content paths (e.g. sites,
> tenants).
> during the contribution some changes and refactorings are required/planned,
> e.g.:
> * remove some dependencies to wcm.io build environment, Guava and others
> * remove the "application" distinction currently part of wcm.io Configuration
> in favor or a more path-based distinction
> * refactor the user-faced configuration API to further simplify it and
> support OSGi R6-style annotation classed for typed configuration access
