             Summary: Add Resource Access Tags
                 Key: SLING-2648
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2648
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Scripting
    Affects Versions: Scripting JSP-Taglib 2.1.8
            Reporter: Dan Klco


It would be really nice to be able to access resources through tags rather than 
having to use Scriptlet for even basic Resource iteration.  I've created a 
patch for adding tags to:
 - Get a Resource
 - List Child Resources
 - Adapt adaptables to other classes
 - Get properties from ValueMaps (with default values)

With these new tags, you will be able to do things like create an entire 
navigation without scriptlet:
<ul>
    <sling:getResource var="currentResource" path="/libs" />
    <sling:listChildren var="children" resource="${currentResource}" />
    <c:forEach var="child" items="${children}">
        <c:if test="${child.name != 'jcr:content'}">
            <sling:getResource var="pageContent" 
path="${child.path}/jcr:content" />
            <sling:adapt adaptable="${pageContent}"  
adaptTo="org.apache.sling.api.resource.ValueMap" var="childProperties" />
            <sling:getProperty key="jcr:title" defaultValue="${child.name}" 
var="title" properties="${childProperties}" />
            <li><a href="${child.path}.html">Title: ${title}</a></li>
        </c:if>
    </c:forEach>
</ul>
