Julian Sedding commented on SLING-8170:
---------------------------------------
[~radu.cotescu] thinking about the singular vs plural issue again, I agree that
it's correct to use singular. As the resource-super-type is where the servlet
inherits from, having multiple resource-super-types would imply multiple
inheritance with all problems inherent to multiple-inheritance. We should not
go down that road.

> In Sling scripts and servlets are equal [0]. However, currently a servlet
> cannot declare a resource super type property, in order to allow delegation /
> overlaying at runtime to another servlet, similar to how component scripts
> can do it through the {{sling:resourceSuperType}} optional property.
> Adding support for another registration property -
> {{sling.servlet.resourceSuperType}} - that accepts a String as value would
> allow to introduce a backwards compatible overlaying and inheritance
> capability. This property should only be considered for the registration
> together with the {{sling.servlet.resourceTypes}}.
