Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-8975:
-----------------------------------------
This is a change in the contract and I would assume that if a resource returns
null for the resource type, a lot of code will just blow up. The javadoc of the
method does not mention null as a possible return value.
I think a resource must have a resource type
> Sling API: Resource.getResourceType should be @Nullable

> currently, the {{getResourceType()}} method of the {{Resource}} interface is
> marked as {{@NotNull}} in the API.
> imho this is wrong:
> * it is not mandatory that every resource has a resource type
> * the JCR resource provider uses the JCR primary type as "fallback" value
> when no resource type is defined as property, but this is not necessary the
> case for other resource providers or synthetic resources
