Konrad Windszus created SLING-7377:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Expose derived resource types for a given resource type
Key: SLING-7377
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7377
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API, ResourceResolver
Affects Versions: API 2.16.4
Reporter: Konrad Windszus
Currently {{sling::resourceSuperType}} properties are only evaluated in the
Sling Servlet Resolver and it is only possible to retrieve the super type of a
given type (via {{Resource.getResourceSuperType()}}
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-278) but not vice versa.
For the use case of e.g. searching for content of resource type {{a}} or any
type derived from {{a}} it is necessary to know all resource types derived from
{{a}} (direct or transitive) up front.
For that I propose to extend the {{ResourceResolver}} interface with an
additional method which retrieves all derived resource types for a given type.
There was an initial discussion about this in
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg73080.html.
