microsling Resource resolver and default renderers do not support Properties
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-133
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-133
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: microsling
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
Priority: Minor
Currently, assuming the /content/testing/foo Node exists and has a "text"
property, requesting /content/testing/foo/text.txt (or any other extension)
fails with a ClassCastException, as the resolution and rendering chain supports
Nodes only.
It should be fairly easy to use a JcrPropertyResource when the
MicroslingResourceResolver finds an Item that is a Property, and let the
default renderers handle it.
One use case, is, when working with client-side forms, to fill a <textarea>,
for example, with the value of a property, based on a relative URL.
I don't think we need to handle POSTs to Properties for now, but GETs are
useful in the above case, and for testing as well.
