So that I understand, this would benefit a scenario where you are searching for a specific resource type, and the search implementation would have to traverse up the resourceType hierarchy to determine if a specific type was of a type that you are looking for.
One of the solutions for this, as you suggest, could be a pre-emptive determination of the derived types and then the search implementation could compare against that. Did I get that right? -----Original Message----- From: Konrad Windszus [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 5:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Search for specific resource types EXTERNAL Ping, does anyone have any idea? I am thinking about introducing a new method to ResourceResolver which allows to return all derived resource types for a given resource type. That must internally rely on a search within /apps and /libs looking for resourceSuperType=<given type> recursively! Such a method could be used as a basis for the query to look for content of type "a" or a derived type. WDYT? Konrad > On 15.
