Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-7792:
--------------------------------------------
How will the client code select which path to use if you resolve to multiple
candidates and return just their paths?
We probably need to see the whole picture of how you intend to use this to
understand better, but if there are multiple candidates I think the resolver
should provide values such as which one are favorites, or why each candidate is
present in the result set, to be able to make a sensible decision about which
path to actually use.
Or maybe it's just a question of assigning priorities to the various mapping
mechanisms, if their precedence is currently undefined (I' don't know if that's
the case).

> Key: SLING-7792
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7792
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ResourceResolver
> Affects Versions: Resource Resolver 1.6.0
> Reporter: Alex COLLIGNON
> Priority: Major
>
> The current {{ResourceResolver#map}} methods return a single "path mapped
> from the (resource) path". However, it is possible than a given path can be
> mapped to multiple others while using features such as {{sling:alias}} and
> {{sling:vanityUrl}}.
> In order to support that scenario, it is require to implement new maps method
> for {{ResourceResolver}} which returns a collection of "resolved path". This
> collection must contain the resources mapped through {{/etc/map}},
> {{sling:alias}} and {{sling:vanityUrl}}.
> The current API suggests to implement a second method to be
> consistent/symmetric with the existing map operations
