---------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to bifurcat a repository path to a provider
mount
Key: SLING-8411
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8411
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JCR
Affects Versions: JCR Base 3.0.6
Reporter: Karl Pauls
Assignee: Karl Pauls
Fix For: JCR Base 3.0.8
While one would normally use a resource provider to extend the content tree,
sometimes, that can be not enough a code might make assumptions about the
resources being actually being backed by JCR. This can be problematic as for
example, a given resource can not necessarily be adapted to a Node nor be found
via a Session.
Hence, a similar approach on the JCR level allowing developers to mount content
into sub trees of the repository itself can be helpful to be able to support
these kind of usecase. We should provide a hook for a repository mount that
takes over a given subpath by wrapping repositories returned by the base and
dispatching to the mount when the request is for a given subpath.
