Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-129:
-------------------------------------------
Committed a simple implementation in revision 602927, SyntheticResource
objects are created if no JCR Resource is found, and the path (iterated by
ResourcePathIterator) matches one of the following default regexps:
public static String [] DEFAULT_PATH_REGEXP = {
"/search(/.*)?", // everything under /search
".*\\*$" // everything ending with *
};
We can of course make these regexps configurable, even if it's just in web.xml.
The "everything ending with *" is useful to solve the chicken-and-egg problem
described in b) above, I'll try to explain more on the sling dev list as
there's more to consider about this.
> microsling SyntheticResource, can be used for request paths which do not have
> matching repository Nodes

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: microsling
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Sling SyntheticResource [1] might be useful in microsling, for example:
> a) To implement search functions under /search, without having the
> corresponding nodes. For example, "/search/customer/foo" could mean "find all
> customers named foo", even though customers are not stored under /search
> b) To solve the chicken-and-egg problem of starting with an empty repository
> for a blog application, for example, where /content/blog/*.post.html should
> display an editing page, before any content exists.
> I'll implement a simple SyntheticResource based on path regexps: if the
> MicroslingResourceResolver doesn't find a Resource and the request path
> matches one of the regexps of the SyntheticResourceProvider, a
> SyntheticResource is selected.
