> David brought up an issue on the dev list [1] regarding the
> Resource.getRawData() method. In short, David suggests to replace the
> getRawData method with a signature, which more closely reflects the
> definition of Sling as a web application framework for JCR. The general
> consesus on the list is that the getRawData() method is badly named and that
> we should have a method which shows the JCR integration yet does not tie the
> API too much into JCR.
> So I propose the following:
> > Remove the getRawData() and getObject() methods from the Resource
> interface
> > Add new interfaces NodeResource and ObjectResource:
> // resources backed by JCR nodes
> public interface NodeResource extends Resource {
> Node getNode();
> }
> // resources mapped using JCR OCM for example
> public interface ObjectResource extends Resource {
> Object getObject();
> }
> This way, we have the Resource interfaces completely storage-agnostic and
> provide for a wide range of extensions, such as an URLResource, which may be
> backed by a URL such as an entry in an OSGi bundle.
