Not sure what you mean by "apply other resourceTypes", do you mean by changing the sling:resourceType property? Then ok, you can do that now and as you say the scripts and servlets wired to the new resource type will do their best to handle it. > ...By assigning types to the resourceType you can define required/optional > fields and the types of actions that can occur on that resource...
